GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

You are migrating an on-premises OLTP database to a Compute Engine VM. Benchmarking shows the workload peaks at 500 000 random read IOPS and 5 GB/s throughput against 14 TB of data. The data must persist across host maintenance events, and you want to avoid managing software RAID or complex striping. Which storage option should you attach to the VM to meet these requirements?

  • Attach eight 375 GB Local SSD devices in a RAID-0 array to reach the target IOPS.

  • Attach a 14 TB Hyperdisk Extreme volume and set its performance parameters to 500 000 IOPS and 5 GB/s.

  • Provision a 14 TB Filestore High Scale instance and mount it over NFS.

  • Stripe multiple 4 TB zonal Persistent Disk SSD volumes until benchmarks are satisfied.
