To estimate the annual cost of a BigQuery query scheduled to run nightly, what is the recommended approach?

Real Exam



Explanation:

The correct answer is B as this method accurately estimates the yearly BigQuery querying costs by determining the number of bytes read by the query using the --dry_run flag with the bq command, then applying this figure in the Google Cloud Platform Pricing Calculator. This approach aligns with Google's best practices for pricing queries before execution.

  • Option A is incorrect because gcloud is not the appropriate tool for estimating BigQuery query costs.
  • Option C is incorrect for the same reason as Option A; gcloud should not be used for this purpose.
  • Option D is incorrect because the bq estimate command does not exist, and thus, cannot be used to estimate query costs.
