Google Professional Data Engineer Question 45
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour organization operates in multiple regions and has strict data residency requirements that mandate customer data must remain within specific jurisdictions. Additionally, your organization plans to adopt a multi-cloud strategy to avoid vendor lock-in. As a Professional Data Engineer, how would you design the data architecture to meet these requirements?
- A
Use Google Cloud's BigQuery datasets with regional configurations to store data in specific geographic locations.
- B
Implement Cloud Storage with a multi-region bucket to ensure high availability across multiple regions.
- C
Adopt a hybrid approach using Anthos to manage workloads across Google Cloud and other cloud providers while ensuring compliance with data residency requirements.
- D
Use Google Cloud Transfer Appliance to move all data to a single cloud provider for centralized management.
- E
Configure IAM policies and organization policies to restrict data access and ensure compliance with residency regulations.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To meet data residency requirements and adopt a multi-cloud strategy, it is essential to design a solution that keeps data within specified regions, allows workload portability, and enforces compliance through access controls. BigQuery regional datasets help meet residency requirements, Anthos supports multi-cloud and hybrid deployments, and IAM policies ensure proper governance and compliance, making these the correct choices.
- A. Correct.
BigQuery allows you to configure datasets to specific regions, which helps meet data residency requirements while providing powerful analytics capabilities.
- B. Incorrect.
Using a multi-region bucket contradicts strict data residency requirements, as the data might be replicated across multiple geographic regions.
- C. Correct.
Anthos enables a hybrid and multi-cloud approach, allowing you to manage workloads across different cloud providers while adhering to data residency rules.
- D. Incorrect.
Moving all data to a single cloud provider does not align with a multi-cloud strategy and could violate data residency policies if the provider lacks support for specific geographical regions.
- E. Correct.
IAM policies and organization policies ensure proper access control and compliance with residency regulations by restricting who can access data and where it can be stored or processed.
