You need to move 2 PB of historical data from an on-premises storage appliance to Cloud Storage within six months, and your outbound network capacity is constrained to 20 Mb/sec. How should you migrate this data to Cloud Storage?

  • A. Use Transfer Appliance to copy the data to Cloud Storage
  • B. Use gsutil cp ג€"J to compress the content being uploaded to Cloud Storage
  • C. Create a private URL for the historical data, and then use Storage Transfer Service to copy the data to Cloud Storage
  • D. Use trickle or ionice along with gsutil cp to limit the amount of bandwidth gsutil utilizes to less than 20 Mb/sec so it does not interfere with the production traffic

In 6 months - only 0.0290304 Petabytes will be uploaded. Right - compression might help, but we do not have any info to support the ration. Lets go for A

Physical Transfer: Transfer Appliance is a physical device provided by Google Cloud that you can use to physically transfer large volumes of data to the cloud. It allows you to avoid the limitations of network bandwidth and transfer data much faster. Capacity: Transfer Appliance can handle large volumes of data, including the 2 PB you need to migrate, without the constraints of slow network speeds. Efficiency: It is highly efficient for large-scale data transfers and is a practical choice for transferring multi-terabyte or petabyte-scale datasets.

2,000,000,000,000,000 bytes = 2 Petabytes 20,000,000 bytes = 20 Megabytes Once we do the math: 2 Petabytes / 20 Megabytes = 100,000,000 seconds forecasted to migrate the data. 100,000,000 seconds = 1,666,666.7 minutes = 27,777.8 hours = 1,157.4 days 6 months = 180 days 1,157.4 days > 180 days Still, with such amount Transfer Appliance is recommended.

Transfer alliance is a physical device of size like cabin luggage or slightly larger. It has Seagate/WD harddisk (these are name of companies) size varries from 100 to 480 TB. In our case 2PB (2000 TB) accordingly. Google send you this and transfer data into it by wire connection and then upload data from this to GCS and empty the appliance.

Selected Answer: A
Problem: Transferring 2 peta data to Cloud Storage Considerations: Bad network speed Bad network = cannot initiate from client’s end through network. So, B, C is out D will still be super slow. At this speed it will take 27,777 hours to transfer the data
