Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer — Question 211

Your organization is modernizing their IT services and migrating to Google Cloud. You need to organize the data that will be stored in Cloud Storage and BigQuery. You need to enable a data mesh approach to share the data between sales, product design, and marketing departments. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. 1. Create a project for storage of the data for each of your departments. 2. Enable each department to create Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets. 3. Create user groups for authorized readers for each bucket and dataset. 4. Enable the IT team to administer the user groups to add or remove users as the departments’ request.
• B. 1. Create multiple projects for storage of the data for each of your departments’ applications. 2. Enable each department to create Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets. 3. Publish the data that each department shared in Analytics Hub. 4. Enable all departments to discover and subscribe to the data they need in Analytics Hub.
• C. 1. Create a project for storage of the data for your organization. 2. Create a central Cloud Storage bucket with three folders to store the files for each department. 3. Create a central BigQuery dataset with tables prefixed with the department name. 4. Give viewer rights for the storage project for the users of your departments.
• D. 1. Create multiple projects for storage of the data for each of your departments’ applications. 2. Enable each department to create Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets. 3. In Dataplex, map each department to a data lake and the Cloud Storage buckets, and map the BigQuery datasets to zones. 4. Enable each department to own and share the data of their data lakes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is the correct choice because it implements a data mesh approach by allowing each department to manage its own data lakes and share data effectively. Options A and C do not fully support the data mesh strategy, as they focus on centralized storage rather than decentralized management. Option B, while it allows for some sharing, lacks the necessary structure that Dataplex provides for managing data lakes and zones.
