Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer PDE — Topic 1 Question 125

Question

You have a petabyte of analytics data and need to design a storage and processing platform for it. You must be able to perform data warehouse-style analytics on the data in Google Cloud and expose the dataset as files for batch analysis tools in other cloud providers. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Store the full dataset in BigQuery, and store a compressed copy of the data in a Cloud Storage bucket. Cloud Storage provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. BigQuery is a serverless, petabyte-scale data warehouse for fast SQL analytics with no infrastructure to manage.
