Question: What is a common use case for moving data to GCP? Select the 2 correct answers.
- Virtual Private Cloud
- Data center migration
- Preferred locations
- Decommission tape libraries and infrastructure
Explanation
Data transfer options support movement of existing data into Google Cloud for storage, processing, analytics, and modernization. Data center migration is a common use case because organizations often need to move large on-premises datasets into cloud services. Transfer Appliance and Storage Transfer Service help move data into Cloud Storage when network-based transfer is slow, limited, or operationally difficult. Decommissioning tape-based infrastructure is also aligned with moving backup and archive data into managed cloud storage.
Why the other options are incorrect
Virtual Private Cloud is a networking service, not a data transfer use case.
Preferred locations describes placement or regional strategy, not a common reason for moving data to Google Cloud.
