Professional Cloud Architect Exam - Question 101


Your company is building a new architecture to support its data-centric business focus. You are responsible for setting up the network. Your company's mobile and web-facing applications will be deployed on-premises, and all data analysis will be conducted in GCP. The plan is to process and load 7 years of archived .csv files totaling 900 TB of data and then continue loading 10 TB of data daily. You currently have an existing 100-MB internet connection.

What actions will meet your company's needs?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Given the scenario, compressing and uploading such a massive archive of 900 TB of data and a continuous daily upload of 10 TB using an existing 100-MB internet connection would be impractical. Opting for a Transfer Appliance to handle the bulk upload of the archived data is a reasonable and efficient solution. For ongoing daily transfers, a Dedicated Interconnect or Direct Peering connection will offer the necessary bandwidth and reliability to handle the 10 TB daily upload, far surpassing the capabilities of the existing internet connection and ensuring timely data transfers.

With option A, daily data would take 27 hours. My answer is B. How do you think?

ok but dedicated connection is available from 10 GBPS right where as in question it says internet connection is 100 MB, to me D is correct.

Dedicated Interconnect will be a new connection and will not run over the existing internet connection. With dedicated interconnect the existing ISP becomes irrelevant. If you were trying to use VPN the existing internet connection would be relevant. Answer is B.

Direct peering is meant only to connect to G Suite Services. Its reference may invalidate the whole answer.

True. B is the most apt answer with just this extra bit "direct peering" raising some confusion.

Also with option A you need months to download archive files(900TB)

Agree B. 100Mbps connections for 10TB data transfer is takes too long https://cloud.google.com/solutions/transferring-big-data-sets-to-gcp#close

not 100Mbps. 100MB

even with 100MB internet it's slow. It's 800 Mbps and transfer for 10 TB will take 2 days

There is no such thing as a "100MB" internet connection :) . That must be a speed (per second), and I would guess that the "B" is just a typo (it is highly atypical to measure bandwidth in Bps).

B is the best, VPN doesn't scale very well for huge data

you can not use gsutil to load 10TB daily >>>and then continue loading 10 TB of data daily<<< it will take longer than 24hrs to upload using gsutil

Answer B => Dedicated interconnect will provide a private network with 10gbs. The internet limited to 100 mb is not possible to use cloud VPN ( it will use public internet so be limited for the daily)

Arun_m_123Option: C

I don't think the company needs "dedicated intereconnect" - because it is clearly said that the company wants to do "data-centric" business. Dedicated interconnect is more for having private-access to google cloud. C seems like a correct option to me

It's B, transferring over 100mbps 10TB daily is not possible, because could take up to 12 days.. You need a better connection.

B has an option of direct peering too which is not a recommended practise

B would be correct as pubsub b service might redeliver messages. When you receive messages in order and the Pub/Sub service redelivers a message with an ordering key, Pub/Sub maintains order by also redelivering the subsequent messages with the same ordering key. The Pub/Sub service redelivers these messages in the order that it originally received them.
