You have a 20 GB file that you need to securely share with some contractors. They need it as fast as possible. Which steps would get them the file quickly and securely?

Using composite objects and parallel uploads to upload the file to Cloud Storage quickly. Then generate a signed URL and securely share it with the contractors.
Set up a VPC with a custom subnet. Create a subnet tunnel. Upload the file to a network share. Grant the contractors temporary access.
Upload the file to Bigtable using the bulk data import tool. Then provide the contractors with read access to the database.
Upload the file to Cloud Storage. Grant the allAuthenticated users token view permissions.

The correct answer is: Using composite objects and parallel uploads to upload the file to Cloud Storage quickly. Then generate a signed URL and securely share it with the contractors.

Option B is incorrect because it involves creating unnecessary steps such as setting up a VPC and creating a subnet tunnel. This would not only take more time but also require additional resources. Additionally, granting temporary access can be a security risk as it allows anyone with the given temporary access to view the file. Option C is incorrect because it involves uploading the file to a database which may not be as fast as uploading it directly to Cloud Storage. Additionally, managing read access to a database can be more complicated and time-consuming compared to generating a signed URL. Option D is incorrect because it does not provide a secure way to share the file. Granting access to allAuthenticated users means that anyone with a Google account can potentially view the file, which may not be desirable. It also does not guarantee the speed at which the contractors can access the file since there is no mention of parallel uploads or signed URLs.
