Associate Cloud Engineer Exam - Question 41


You have 32 GB of data in a single file that you need to upload to a Nearline Storage bucket. The WAN connection you are using is rated at 1 Gbps, and you are the only one on the connection. You want to use as much of the rated 1 Gbps as possible to transfer the file rapidly. How should you upload the file?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To upload a 32 GB file rapidly using a 1 Gbps WAN connection, enabling parallel composite uploads using gsutil is the best approach. This method splits the file into smaller chunks and uploads them simultaneously in parallel, maximizing the use of the available bandwidth. This process significantly speeds up the transfer compared to sequential uploads, which only utilize one stream of data and therefore do not fully leverage the 1 Gbps speed.

Correct answer is B as the bandwidth is good and its a single file, gsutil parallel composite uploads can be used to split the large file and upload in parallel.Refer GCP documentation - Transferring Data to GCP &amp

Answer B is correct. Enable parallel composite uploads using gsutil on the file transfer. The most efficient way to upload the large file to Nearline Storage bucket using a single WAN connection rated at 1 Gbps is to enable parallel composite uploads using gsutil. By default, gsutil uses a single thread to upload a single object. But with parallel composite uploads, gsutil will split the file into smaller chunks and upload these chunks in parallel using multiple threads. This will allow the file to be uploaded faster and more efficiently. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/parallel-composite-uploads

The best option to upload the file is B. Enable parallel composite uploads using gsutil on the file transfer. This is because parallel composite uploads can speed up the upload of large files by dividing them into chue upload time. The other options are not as effective or feasible as option B: Option A. Use the GCP Console to transfer the file instead of gsutil is not a good choice because the GCP Console has a limit of 5 GB per file upload. Option C. Decrease the TCP window size on the machine initiating the transfer is not advisable because it would reduce the amount of data that can be sent before receiving an acknowledgment, which could lead to lower throughput and higher latency. Option D. Change the storage class of the bucket from Nearline to Multi-Regional is not relevant to the upload speed, as it only affects the availability and cost of storing and accessing the data.

B- Enable parallel composite uploads using gsutil on the file transfer. This option is correct because parallel composite uploads can break down a large file into smaller components, upload them in parallel, and recombine them into a single object in the cloud. This method takes advantage of the available bandwidth more efficiently than serial uploads, as it can simultaneously transmit multiple parts of the file over the network. The gsutil tool has a -o option that allows enabling of parallel composite uploads.
