GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
A media company is migrating 600 TB of high-definition videos that are uploaded once and then streamed on-demand by customers in both North America and Europe. Streams must begin within milliseconds and the content must remain available even if an entire Google Cloud region becomes unavailable. The operations team does not want to manage any replication or web servers, and storage spend should be optimized for large objects that are read far more often than they are written. As the lead cloud architect, which Google Cloud storage design should you recommend?
Create a Cloud Storage multi-region bucket in the us multi-region using the Standard storage class and front it with Cloud CDN.
Insert the video files as BLOB data into Cloud Bigtable tables replicated in multiple regions and expose them through the Cloud Bigtable REST API.
Store the videos on a regional Standard HDD Persistent Disk attached to an auto-scaled group of Compute Engine instances running NGINX, using global HTTP(S) Load Balancing for distribution.
Provision a multi-zone Filestore instance, export it via NFS to GKE pods, and expose the service through a regional TCP load balancer.
A Cloud Storage multi-region bucket automatically keeps copies of each object in at least two geographically separated regions within the chosen multi-region, delivering 99.95 % availability without any customer-managed replication. Using the Standard storage class ensures low-latency access appropriate for frequently read media, and fronting the bucket with Cloud CDN places cached objects close to viewers to achieve sub-second start times.
Filestore is a zonal (or at most regional) NFS service designed for POSIX workloads, not for global content distribution, and would require you to manage replication and scaling. A regional Persistent Disk behind self-managed web servers lacks cross-regional redundancy and introduces operational overhead. Storing large binaries in Bigtable is inappropriate and costly, as Bigtable is optimized for wide-column structured data rather than object storage or CDN integration.
