Analyzing and optimizing technical and business processes

An operations team currently has 10 TB of data stored in an object storage service provided by a third party. They need to transfer this data to a Cloud Storage bucket as quickly as possible while following Google-recommended practices. They also want to minimize the migration cost. Which approach should they use?

  • A Use the gsutil mv command to move the data.
  • B Use the Storage Transfer Service to move the data.
  • C Download the data to a Transfer Appliance, and ship it to Google.
  • D Download the data to the on-premises data center, and upload it to the Cloud Storage bucket.
Explanation

Storage Transfer Service is Google Cloud’s recommended service for moving data from another cloud storage provider to Cloud Storage. It is designed for large-scale transfers, including data sets larger than 1 TiB, and performs supported cloud-provider-to-Cloud-Storage transfers as a managed service without routing the data through on-premises infrastructure or a Transfer Appliance.
