Hello, my name is Manav Gangwani, I'm facing some queries can anyone help?

How can I optimize our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform to achieve both cost-efficiency and high performance for our applications? How do I transfer data from one Google Cloud to another?

Hi @manavgangwani,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

To transfer data within Google Cloud:

• Cloud Storage Transfer Service : Best for large datasets or ongoing replication between buckets.
• gsutil command-line tool: Best for smaller datasets or transferring data from/to on-premises locations.
• gsutil Transfer Objects: Efficiently transfer data to BigQuery, Cloud Spanner, etc.

Choose the method based on dataset size, transfer direction, technical expertise, and performance needs.

Best practices:

• Test transfers with a small dataset.
• Consider network bandwidth and storage class.
• Manage IAM permissions carefully.
• Explore external data transfer services if needed.
