[All Professional Cloud Developer Questions]

You are a developer at a financial institution. You use Cloud Shell to interact with Google Cloud services. User data is currently stored on an ephemeral disk; however, a recently passed regulation mandates that you can no longer store sensitive information on an ephemeral disk. You need to implement a new storage solution for your user data. You want to minimize code changes. Where should you store your user data?

A. Store user data on a Cloud Shell home disk, and log in at least every 120 days to prevent its deletion.
B. Store user data on a persistent disk in a Compute Engine instance.
C. Store user data in a Cloud Storage bucket.
D. Store user data in BigQuery tables.

Persistent disk is the right option to store sensitive info in this case. ( Obviously in the general sense, we should store user data in the data store ) Key points: 1) You use Cloud Shell to interact with Google Cloud services 2) You want to minimize code changes

C is best answer: Using gsfuse: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse you can have Cloud Shell interact with Cloud Storage directly as a drive. You don't need to redesign or recode or move your app from Cloud Shell. This is the same approach that dataproc uses to leverage GCS as a storage solution.

Selected Answer: B

Store user data in a Cloud Storage bucket is a good option for storing large amounts of data, but if you need to minimize code changes, using a persistent disk in a Compute Engine instance may be a better fit as it provides a more direct replacement for an ephemeral disk with similar access patterns, which will likely require fewer changes to your existing code. Storing user data in a Cloud Storage bucket would likely require more significant changes to how your application interacts with the data.

This virtual machine is owned and managed by Google Cloud, so will not appear within any of your GCP projects. https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs/how-cloud-shell-works
