GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your company must move 300 TB of media on-prem NFS server to a new Cloud Storage bucket in us-central1 over a 1 Gbps internet link. After the initial load, the bucket must be updated nightly with only new or changed files. You want transfers to run automatically, restart if interrupted, perform integrity checks, and require minimal ongoing administration. Which solution should you implement?

  • Deploy Storage Transfer Service agents on the on-premises file server and create a recurring Storage Transfer Service job to move data from the NFS share to the Cloud Storage bucket.

  • Order a Transfer Appliance, copy the 300 TB to the device, ship it to Google, and request a new appliance each week to capture nightly changes.

  • Create a Cloud VPN tunnel, mount the bucket on a VM using gcsfuse, and run a nightly Linux rsync job from the NFS share to the mounted bucket.

  • Install gsutil on the file server and schedule a nightly multi-threaded gsutil rsync job to synchronize the NFS share with the bucket.
