Exam Associate-Data-Practitioner Topic 2 Question 93 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate-Data-Practitioner exam
Question #: 93
Topic #: 2
You need to transfer approximately 300 TB of data from your company's on-premises data center to Cloud Storage. You have 100 Mbps internet bandwidth, and the transfer needs to be completed as quickly as possible. What should you do?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Transferring 300 TB over a 100 Mbps connection would take an impractical amount of time (over 300 days at theoretical maximum speed, ignoring real-world constraints like latency). Google Cloud provides the Transfer Appliance for large-scale, time-sensitive transfers.
* Option A: Cloud Client Libraries over the internet would be slow and unreliable for 300 TB due to bandwidth limitations.
* Option B: The gcloud storage command is similarly constrained by internet speed and not designed for such large transfers.
* Option C: Compressing and splitting across multiple providers adds complexity and isn't a Google- supported method for Cloud Storage ingestion.
