[All Professional Data Engineer Questions]

You are migrating your on-premises data warehouse to BigQuery. One of the upstream data sources resides on a MySQL. database that runs in your on-premises data center with no public IP addresses. You want to ensure that the data ingestion into BigQuery is done securely and does not go through the public internet. What should you do?

A. Update your existing on-premises ETL tool to write to BigQuery by using the BigQuery Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver. Set up the proxy parameter in the simba.googlebigqueryodbc.ini file to point to your data center’s NAT gateway.
B. Use Datastream to replicate data from your on-premises MySQL database to BigQuery. Set up Cloud Interconnect between your on-premises data center and Google Cloud. Use Private connectivity as the connectivity method and allocate an IP address range within your VPC network to the Datastream connectivity configuration. Use Server-only as the encryption type when setting up the connection profile in Datastream.
C. Use Datastream to replicate data from your on-premises MySQL database to BigQuery. Use Forward-SSH tunnel as the connectivity method to establish a secure tunnel between Datastream and your on-premises MySQL database through a tunnel server in your on-premises data center. Use None as the encryption type when setting up the connection profile in Datastream.
D. Use Datastream to replicate data from your on-premises MySQL database to BigQuery. Gather Datastream public IP addresses of the Google Cloud region that will be used to set up the stream. Add those IP addresses to the firewall allowlist of your on-premises data center. Use IP Allowlisting as the connectivity method and Server-only as the encryption type when setting up the connection profile in Datastream.

Datastream is a seamless replication from relational databases directly to BigQuery. The source database can be hosted on-premises, on Google Cloud services such as Cloud SQL or Bare Metal Solution for Oracle, or anywhere else on any cloud. https://cloud.google.com/datastream-for-bigquery#benefits

It is required that the data ingestion into BigQuery is done securely and does not go through the public internet. It can be done by Interconnect.
