An enterprise needs to perform an offline bulk migration of 200 TB of archive data from an on-premises data center to Google Cloud Storage using a Transfer Appliance. In what chronological sequence should the cloud architect perform the key steps of this transfer strategy?
- 1Order the Transfer Appliance using the Google Cloud Console and receive the device at the on-premises location.
- 2Connect the appliance to the local network and copy the encrypted source data onto the device.
- 3Ship the appliance back to Google for data ingestion into the target Cloud Storage bucket.
- 4Verify data completeness and checksum integrity in Cloud Storage prior to decommissioning on-premises storage.
Answer
The correct sequence starts with requesting and receiving the Transfer Appliance, followed by connecting and copying encrypted data locally, shipping the device back to Google for ingestion, and concluding with checksum integrity verification in Cloud Storage.
The correct workflow for offline migration using Transfer Appliance requires procuring the physical hardware first, copying and encrypting data locally, shipping the appliance to Google for data ingestion, and validating object integrity in Cloud Storage once upload completes.
