You are tasked with presenting a cost and estimated budget analysis to investors, requiring an estimation of cloud costs for the next six months. This involves analyzing Google Cloud Platform service costs across multiple projects and creating projections by service type, both daily and monthly. Your team is proficient in standard query syntax. What is the best approach to achieve this?
Explanation:
Option D is correct because exporting billing reports to a BigQuery dataset allows for efficient analysis using SQL queries, which your team is comfortable with. BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse capable of handling large datasets and providing powerful querying capabilities. This approach supports collaboration and scalability, making it ideal for analyzing Google Cloud Platform service costs across multiple projects.
Options A, B, and C are less optimal. Option A limits collaboration and real-time updates, Option B is not the most efficient for large-scale analysis, and Option C is unsuitable as Cloud Bigtable is not designed for cost analysis tasks.
