- A
Persistent Disks
- B
Cloud Storage with Nearline storage class
- C
Cloud Bigtable
- D
Cloud SQL
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Cloud Bigtable is the best choice for applications requiring scalable and low-latency access to large datasets across multiple regions. It provides the high availability and performance needed for applications that deal with exponential data growth, making it suitable for this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Persistent Disks are suitable for VM storage with high durability and performance but are not designed for multi-regional data access and scalability.
- B. Incorrect.
Cloud Storage with Nearline storage class is cost-effective for infrequent access but not optimized for low-latency, high-availability, or rapid growth requirements.
- C. Correct.
Cloud Bigtable is designed for scalable, low-latency access to large datasets across multiple regions, making it ideal for applications with high availability and rapid data growth needs.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud SQL offers managed relational databases, which are not optimal for handling rapidly growing datasets with low-latency access across multiple regions.
