You have a total of 75 TB of data that needs to be transferred to Cloud Storage, and you aim to follow the best practices recommended by Google. Considering the options available for transferring large datasets efficiently and securely, what should you do?
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. For transferring large amounts of data, such as 75 TB, Google recommends using a Transfer Appliance. The Transfer Appliance is a high-capacity storage server that you can lease from Google to securely transfer data to Google Cloud. Once the data is transferred onto the appliance and shipped to Google's datacenter, you use a Transfer Appliance Rehydrator to decrypt and import the data into Cloud Storage. This method is preferred over using gsutil due to the size of the data and the need for a more efficient and secure transfer process.
