GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
A biomedical company has 1 PB of genomic data on an on-prem NFS appliance. It must move the data into a regional Cloud Storage bucket within eight weeks. The only link to Google Cloud is a shared 1-Gbps Internet circuit that cannot be saturated. After the bulk copy, about 3 TB of new sequencing data is produced daily and must be transferred automatically to Cloud Storage. Which migration approach meets the deadline while minimizing WAN congestion?
Mount the NFS share on a Compute Engine VM with Cloud Storage FUSE, copy the 1 PB dataset, and schedule a cron-based rsync for ongoing 3 TB daily transfers.
Provision a 10-Gbps Dedicated Interconnect and run gsutil -m cp to copy both the 1 PB archive and the 3 TB daily increments directly to Cloud Storage.
Use Storage Transfer Service alone to copy the full 1 PB over the 1-Gbps Internet link with bandwidth scheduling, and let the same job run daily for new files.
Order Transfer Appliance devices for the initial 1 PB copy, then configure on-premises Storage Transfer Service agents to run recurring incremental transfers of new data over the existing link.
A Transfer Appliance allows the one-time movement of the 1 PB archive without consuming the limited 1-Gbps link, because data is loaded locally and the device is physically shipped to Google for import. After the historical data is in Cloud Storage, deploying Storage Transfer Service agents on-premises enables recurring jobs that move the 3 TB of daily data online while enforcing bandwidth throttling so normal business traffic is unaffected. The alternative plans either rely solely on the constrained circuit, require lengthy Dedicated Interconnect provisioning, or demand extensive manual scripting and maintenance, making them less suitable for the eight-week deadline and operational constraints.
