Your infrastructure includes a set of YouTube channels. You have been tasked with creating a process for sending the YouTube channel data to Google Cloud for analysis. You want to design a solution that allows your world-wide marketing teams to perform ANSI SQL and other types of analysis on up-to-date YouTube channels log data. How should you set up the log data transfer into Google Cloud?

  • A. Use Storage Transfer Service to transfer the offsite backup files to a Cloud Storage Multi-Regional storage bucket as a final destination.
  • B. Use Storage Transfer Service to transfer the offsite backup files to a Cloud Storage Regional bucket as a final destination.
  • C. Use BigQuery Data Transfer Service to transfer the offsite backup files to a Cloud Storage Multi-Regional storage bucket as a final destination.
  • D. Use BigQuery Data Transfer Service to transfer the offsite backup files to a Cloud Storage Regional storage bucket as a final destination.

Correct Answer: A Destination is GCS and having multi-regional so A is the best option available. Even since BigQuery Data Transfer Service initially supports Google application sources like Google Ads, Campaign Manager, Google Ad Manager and YouTube but it does not support destination anything other than bq data set

I differ, destination is not mentioned as GCS, it only says Google Cloud which can mean BigQuery too. And ANSI SQL also points towards this direction.

I guess they are assuming that you will just query the data in Cloud Storage from BQ. The question specifically is, "How should you set up the log data transfer into Google Cloud?", not "How should you set up the querying." ANSI SQL is a distraction!

None of the answers make any sense. BigQuery Transfer Service is for moving data from various sources (S3, Youtube etc) into BigQuery, not Google Cloud Storage. Further, how are we supposed to use SQL to query data if it is stored in Cloud Storage?

Option [A] is the least worse option... for world wide teams to perform ANSI SQL Queries, it would be easier to create a ext. table or load from Multi AZ bucket... BQ Data Transfer service is used to push data in BQ, hence ruling out Option C & D

The best option would be to use "BigQuery Transfer Service" to upload data to BQ. But BQ is not present as a destination, so the only working option is Multi Regional GCS

Selected Answer: C
BigQuery Data Transfer Service automates data loading into BigQuery from various sources, including Google Cloud Storage.BigQuery is specifically designed for performing ANSI SQL and other types of analysis on large datasets. Cloud Storage can be used as a staging area, especially a multi-region bucket if the teams are worldwide

First thing log data is usually semi-strucutred or unstrucutred data, then GCS is more suitable in this situation. Besides, you can use external table or BigLake to run BQ query directly running on GCS.

This is A, because it's "offsite backup files". You can transfer direct from Youtube to BigQuery: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/youtube-channel-transfer, but this isn't that. It's direct from some backup files to Cloud Storage, all answers mandate that fact, and all that remains is "should this be Storage Transfer, or BigQuery" - clearly this is storage transfer, and all the youtube/ANSI sql stuff is just distraction.

Using BQ data transfer we can only load data into the Bigquery storage, which means a table inside the bq dataset. What is Storage Transfer Service? Storage Transfer Service automates the transfer of data to, from, and between object and file storage systems, including Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Azure Storage, on-premises data, and more. It can be used to transfer large amounts of data quickly and reliably, without the need to write any code. As per the above lines from the Google's documentation on Storage transfer service, we can go with option A. For additional info, have a look at the below link. https://cloud.google.com/storage-transfer/docs/overview?_gl=1*jaku2h*_ga*MjA5Mzc4OTM0LjE2ODQ3MzA5NzQ.*_ga_WH2QY8WWF5*MTcxNTA1OTM0OC4xODMuMS4xNzE1MDU5NTY3LjAuMC4w&_ga=2.6452401.-209378934.1684730974&_gac=1.162721358.1713078448.CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFo4Da6-2MNQqNJuzAGSyJmCXdaPpXXiqaI0lkZYHlcln0IBbtWSJjLBoCp_4QAvD_BwE

Selected Answer: C
To transfer YouTube channel data to Google Cloud for analysis, you can use the BigQuery Data Transfer Service to transfer the offsite backup files to a Cloud Storage Multi-Regional storage bucket as a final destination 1. This service allows you to automatically schedule and manage recurring load jobs for YouTube Channel reports 1. The BigQuery Data Transfer Service for YouTube Channel reports supports the following reporting options: Channel Reports (automatically loaded into BigQuery) 1. When you transfer data from a YouTube Channel into BigQuery, the data is loaded into BigQuery tables that are partitioned by date 1.

Correct answer is A. At first, it's between A and C because of the term multi-regional. However, since you cannot use the BigQuery Data Transfer Service to transfer data out of BigQuery, A is the correct answer. Source: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/dts-introduction
