Practice Test 3 | Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer | Dumps | Mock Test
You have a system generated log files required to be later uploaded to Google Storage in the data lake. Since the data is only accessed couple of times in a year by the development team for debugging and log analysis. You are looking for a cheaper storage option for log files than the standard class. Which of the following is suitable?
A. Cloud Storage Nearline
B. Cloud Storage Coldline
C. BigQuery
D. Filestore
Explanation:
Correct Answer: B
Google Cloud Storage Nearline is a low-cost, highly durable storage service for storing infrequently accessed data. Nearline Storage is ideal for data you plan to read or modify on average once a month or less.
Google Cloud Storage Coldline is a very-low-cost, highly durable storage service for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery. Coldline Storage is the best choice for data that you plan to access at most once a quarter, due to its slightly lower availability, 90-day minimum storage duration, costs for data access, and higher per operation costs.
Option A is incorrect: Scenario mentions the need to access the data few times a year. Hence, Nearline is not a suitable option because Nearline is used to plan archive data accessed at most once a month.
Options C and D are incorrect: Both BigQuery and Filestore’s storage rate is two times higher than Cloud Storage Nearline.
