I would have voted C looking at 10 TB at first glance. But the senario other cloud storge changes the look out. You cannot wre master applica here. As you wont be able to remove and store data like on prem. Hence is or Starge Transfer service.

Selected Answer: B

I chose B. Bandwidth specification is not included in the question.If the bandwidth is 10G or more, it is A. The guideline based on the gcloud command is 1TB. Since the data is in an online service, you can use TransferService.

Very Tricky and don't have enough details to answer the question. Use this Guide (https://cloud.google.com/architecture/migration-to-google-cloud-transferring-your-large-datasets#transfer-options) and let's try to eliminate options. A. Use the gsutil mv command to move the data. (We have 10TB, hence rejected) B. Use the Storage Transfer Service to move the data. (Source might not be Cloud provider. Hence rejecting it. If source is AWS/Azure then this is the answer) C. Download the data to a Transfer Appliance, and ship it to Google. (I don't think we can use Transfer Appliance at Third party service providers DC. Assuming this 3rd party is not a cloud provider) D. Download the data to the on-premises data center, and upload it to the Cloud Storage bucket. (This seems better assuming DC has good bandwidth such as 1 Gbbs)
