C. Use a Cloud Storage bucket and set up a Cloud Interconnect connection to allow access to the data.

D. Host the data on-premises, and set up a Cloud Interconnect connection to allow access to the data.

Answer 34

A) Enabling “Requester Pays” on a Cloud Storage bucket allows you to shift the cost of accessing the data to the requester. This means that the individuals or organizations accessing the data will be responsible for the cost of data transfer and operations, rather than your organization incurring the expenses.

With this approach, you can make the data publicly accessible in the Cloud Storage bucket while ensuring that the cost of data access is covered by the requesters. This can help reduce your organization’s expenses in hosting and serving the data.

Option B (providing Signed URLs) would require you to generate and manage unique URLs for each requester, which might not be practical for making the data available to a wide audience.
