Your organization needs to analyze data in order to gather insights (Digital Leader)
Your organization needs to analyze data in order to gather insights into its daily operations. You only want to pay for the data you store and the queries you perform.
Which Google Cloud product should your organization choose for its data analytics warehouse?
A) Cloud SQL.
B) Dataproc.
C) Cloud Spanner.
D) BigQuery.
Solution
Correct answer: D) BigQuery.
For cost-effective data analysis without upfront infrastructure costs, BigQuery (D) is the best choice for your organization.
Cloud SQL (A) is a relational database, not a data warehouse, and Dataproc (B) is ideal for large-scale batch processing, not daily operational insights. Cloud Spanner (C) offers strong consistency but is less cost-effective for general data exploration.
BigQuery uses a pay-as-you-go model, charging only for data storage and queries executed. It's highly scalable, serverless, and integrates seamlessly with other Google Cloud tools for BI and ML, empowering your organization to gather valuable insights from its daily operations.
