Question 5

A data engineering team is being designed to apply BigQuery storage best practices and a director asks why a finance team should care about storage optimization. According to the BigQuery storage best practices, what is the documented business benefit of optimizing BigQuery storage?

Accepted Answer

Optimizing BigQuery storage improves query performance and controls cost, which is why both data and finance teams have a stake in storage best practices.

Answer

Optimizing BigQuery storage only affects the color of charts displayed in dashboards and does not have any effect on query performance or on the cost of storing or querying data in BigQuery.

Answer

Optimizing BigQuery storage only matters when data is migrated to a different cloud and has no impact on the day-to-day performance or cost of data running in BigQuery itself.

Answer

Optimizing BigQuery storage is a one-time setup task that has no continuing effect on query performance or cost once the initial configuration of any new BigQuery dataset is complete.

Question 7

A retail company is considering moving its inventory system to the cloud and the CFO needs a clear explanation of how cloud cost models differ from the company's current on-premises spending. Which statement best summarizes the difference the CFO should highlight to the board?

Accepted Answer

On-premises IT costs include capital and operational expenditure, while in the cloud costs for most resources are treated as operational expenditure incurred when resources are consumed.

Answer

On-premises spending is always cheaper than the cloud once depreciation is excluded.

Answer

Cloud spending eliminates all hardware costs and removes the need for any financial planning.

Answer

Both on-premises and cloud workloads use identical financial models, so the CFO does not need to adjust how budgets are reported.
