QuestionQ269

Managing implementation

Refer to the TerramEarth case study for this question. You must implement a reliable, scalable GCP data-warehouse solution for your company, TerramEarth.

Considering the TerramEarth business and technical requirements, what should you do?

  • A Replace the existing data warehouse with BigQuery. Use table partitioning.
  • B Replace the existing data warehouse with a Compute Engine instance with 96 CPUs.
  • C Replace the existing data warehouse with BigQuery. Use federated data sources.
  • D Replace the existing data warehouse with a Compute Engine instance with 96 CPUs. Add an additional Compute Engine preemptible instance with 32 CPUs.
Explanation

BigQuery is a managed, serverless data warehouse designed for scalable analytics. Partitioned BigQuery tables divide large datasets into partitions; queries that filter on the partitioning column can prune irrelevant partitions, which improves performance and reduces the amount of data processed and associated query cost.
