In discussions with a prospective customer who wants to move to Google Cloud to make use of the latest, scalable technologies available therein, you learn that there are very strict regulations…

Question

Options

• ARetain on-premise itself those portions of data and compute which are under regulation. Take
• BIt is too risky to touch anything in such a scenario. It is best to remain entirely on-premise.
• CRegulations are guidelines. As long as the data remains encrypted, you can move it anywhere.
• DPetition the government for changes to such regulations as all industries are mov-ing to the public

• A
  82% (45)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  11% (6)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

This scenario calls for a hybrid cloud strategy. Not all workloads need to be treated equally - data and compute subject to strict data-residency regulations remain on-premises in full compliance, while unregulated workloads migrate to Google Cloud to benefit from scalability, managed services, and modern tooling. Google supports hybrid architectures through products like Anthos (now Google Distributed Cloud), VPN, and Interconnect. Option B (stay fully on-premises) foregoes all cloud benefits unnecessarily - regulation applies to specific data, not the entire estate. Option C is dangerously wrong - encryption does not override legal data-residency requirements. Option D is impractical and outside the scope of a technology advisor's role.
