Correct answer: A
Explanation
For storing large amounts of unstructured data with infrequent access patterns, Google Cloud Storage with Coldline Storage Class is the optimal choice. It provides low-cost storage with rapid access for data that doesn't need frequent retrieval, making it ideal for scenarios like backing up and archiving images and videos.
- A. Correct.
Google Cloud Storage with Coldline Storage Class is designed for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed. It is cost-effective for storing large amounts of unstructured data like images and videos.
- B. Incorrect.
Google Cloud Filestore is a managed file storage service for applications that require a file system interface and a shared file storage with low latency. It is not optimized for large amounts of unstructured data with infrequent access.
- C. Incorrect.
Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational database service that is suitable for structured data and transactional workloads, not for storing large unstructured data.
- D. Incorrect.
Google Cloud Bigtable is a NoSQL database service designed for large analytical and operational workloads. It is optimized for high throughput and low latency, but not specifically for infrequent access patterns of unstructured data.
