Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer — Question 276

You use a dataset in BigQuery for analysis. You want to provide third-party companies with access to the same dataset. You need to keep the costs of data sharing low and ensure that the data is current. Which solution should you choose?

Answer options

• A. Use Analytics Hub to control data access, and provide third party companies with access to the dataset.
• B. Use Cloud Scheduler to export the data on a regular basis to Cloud Storage, and provide third-party companies with access to the bucket.
• C. Create a separate dataset in BigQuery that contains the relevant data to share, and provide third-party companies with access to the new dataset.
• D. Create a Dataflow job that reads the data in frequent time intervals, and writes it to the relevant BigQuery dataset or Cloud Storage bucket for third-party companies to use.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using Analytics Hub allows for efficient data sharing while managing costs effectively and ensuring that the data is current for third-party access. The other options either involve additional costs associated with data export (B), create unnecessary duplication of data (C), or introduce complexity without the same level of access control (D).
