As part of the technology department at a large X-Ray clinic chain, your team has developed a clinic management app that stores images in an on-premise data room. Due to compliance requirements, these images must be archived, and Cloud Storage has been identified as the ideal solution. How would you design and implement an automated process to upload new images to Cloud Storage?
Explanation:
Option B is correct because gsutil is specifically designed for synchronizing Cloud Storage with on-premises file systems, and automating the upload process with a shell script is straightforward. Setting up a CRON job ensures that new images are automatically synchronized from the on-premises storage to Cloud Storage, fulfilling the compliance requirement for archival storage. Option A is incorrect as it unnecessarily involves Dataflow and assumes images are stored in Datastore, which isn't mentioned. Option C is incorrect because Pub/Sub is not required for simple file uploads to Cloud Storage. Option D is incorrect as it doesn't provide an automated solution, which is a key requirement.
