[All Professional Cloud Database Engineer Questions]

You are building a data warehouse on BigQuery. Sources of data include several MySQL databases located on-premises.

You need to transfer data from these databases into BigQuery for analytics. You want to use a managed solution that has low latency and is easy to set up. What should you do?

A. Create extracts from your on-premises databases periodically, and push these extracts to Cloud Storage. Upload the changes into BigQuery, and merge them with existing tables.

BUse Cloud Data Fusion and scheduled workflows to extract data from MySQL. Transform this data into the appropriate schema, and load this data into your BigQuery database.

CUse Datastream to connect to your on-premises database and create a stream. Have Datastream write to Cloud Storage. Then use Dataflow to process the data into BigQuery.

DUse Database Migration Service to replicate data to a Cloud SQL for MySQL instance. Create federated tables in BigQuery on top of the replicated instances to transform and load the data into your BigQuery database.

I wonder if the 'Cloud' in 'Cloud Data Fusion' means we'll be fusing our data with the weather. Gotta love these tech companies and their whimsical naming conventions.

Option D with Database Migration Service sounds interesting, but I'm not sure about the extra step of creating federated tables in BigQuery.

Is it just me, or does Option C sound like a secret government surveillance program? 'Datastream'? 'Dataflow'? Sounds like they're trying to track our every move!
