Your e-commerce web application is currently self-hosted, requiring significant server and data maintenance. As part of migrating on-premise workloads to Google Cloud, you've decided to start with the development environments of non-critical applications. These applications use Cassandra as their database, with the requirement that Cassandra instances for different apps remain isolated. What is the fastest way to migrate these to Google Cloud?

Explanation:
Option A is not the most efficient because manually installing Cassandra on Google Cloud can be time-consuming and requires infrastructure expertise, which may not be available among developers. Option B is the best choice as it allows developers to quickly launch a pre-configured Cassandra image from the Google Cloud Marketplace, eliminating the need for manual installation and ensuring proper setup. Option C is less efficient as it involves creating a single instance and snapshot without addressing the need for isolated instances for different apps. Option D, while providing a method for instance creation, is more time-consuming and complex than necessary.
