Your company has thousands of employees working globally, all with Active Directory accounts. The goal is to manage all Google and Google Cloud Platform accounts through Active Directory. What is the best approach to achieve this?
Explanation:
D is correct because Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) provides a straightforward and efficient method to synchronize users, groups, and other data from an Active Directory or LDAP service to the Google Cloud domain directory. This ensures centralized management of all user accounts through Active Directory, regardless of the employees' locations.
A is incorrect as manually handling user data through CSV files is prone to errors and lacks the efficiency needed for a large, global workforce. It also doesn't support real-time synchronization.
B is incorrect because it doesn't offer centralized control. Individual account creation leads to inconsistencies in access and permissions management across the organization.
C is incorrect due to the unnecessary complexity and development effort required when a ready-made solution like GCDS is available. Custom scripts would demand significant coding expertise and maintenance.
