Storage & Databases Flashcards

Q

What is the difference between Block Storage and Object Storage?

A
  • Block storage is fixed-sized raw storage capacity
  • Block storage stores data in volumes that can be shared and mounted; SAN, iSCSI and local disks
  • Block storage is most common for applications and databases
  • Object storage does not require a guest OS to exist, accessible via API’s
  • Object storage grows as needed
  • Object storage is redundant and can be replicated
  • Unstructured data like music, image, video
  • Log files and database dumps - Large data sets - Archive files

Q

What are the different type of Cloud Storage and what are they good for?

A
  1. Multi-Regional: across geographic regions
  2. Regional: ideal for compute, analytics, and ML workloads in a particular region
  3. Nearline: backups, low-cost, once a month access
  4. Coldline: archive, lowest-cost, once a year access

Q

What is Bigtable?

A
  • Massively scalable NoSQL
  • Single table that can scale to billions of rows and thousands of columns
  • Stores terabytes or petabyes of data
  • Ideal for single-keyed data with very low latency
  • Ideal data source for MapReduce operations

Q

What is Bigtable good for?

A

Cloud Bigtable is ideal for applications that need very high throughput and scalability for non-structured key/value data, where each value is typically no larger than 10 MB. Cloud Bigtable also excels as a storage engine for batch MapReduce operations, stream processing/analytics, and machine-learning applications.

You can use Cloud Bigtable to store and query all of the following types of data:

  • Marketing data such as purchase histories and customer preferences.
  • Financial data such as transaction histories, stock prices, and currency exchange rates.
  • Internet of Things data such as usage reports from energy meters and home appliances.
  • Time-series data such as CPU and memory usage over time for multiple servers.

Q

What is Cloud Spanner?

A
  • fully-managed, horizontally distibuted relational database service
  • handles massive transactional loads
  • Uses Paxos algorithm to shard data across hundreds of data centers
  • Mission critical, relaional database service with transactional consistency, global scale and high availability
  • Cloud Spanner is ideal for relational, structured, and semi-structured data that requires high availability, strong consistency, and transactional reads and writes.
