[All Professional Cloud Architect (PR000213) Questions]

For this question, refer to the Dress4Win case study.

As part of their new application experience, Dress4Wm allows customers to upload images of themselves. The customer has exclusive control over who may view these images. Customers should be able to upload images with minimal latency and also be shown their images quickly on the main application page when they log in. Which configuration should Dress4Win use?

AStore image files in a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Use Google Cloud Datastore to maintain metadata that maps each customer's ID and their image files.

BStore image files in a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Add custom metadata to the uploaded images in Cloud Storage that contains the customer's unique ID.

CUse a distributed file system to store customers' images. As storage needs increase, add more persistent disks and/or nodes. Assign each customer a unique ID, which sets each file's owner attribute, ensuring privacy of images.

DUse a distributed file system to store customers' images. As storage needs increase, add more persistent disks and/or nodes. Use a Google Cloud SQL database to maintain metadata that maps each customer's ID to their image files.

I recall that using a SQL database for metadata can add complexity. I wonder if that’s necessary here since we need quick access to images.

I'm leaning towards Option D. Using a distributed file system for the images and a Cloud SQL database for the metadata sounds like a more scalable and robust solution. The database will make it easier to manage and query the image data.
