Where to store data
GCS and BQ are two recommended options for storing any machine learning use case-related datasets for high security and efficiency purposes. If the underlying data is structured or semi-structured, BQ is the recommended option due to its off-the-shelf features for manipulating or processing structured datasets. If the data contains images, videos, audio, and unstructured data, then GCS is the suitable option to store it. Let’s learn about these two data storage systems in more detail.
GCS – object storage
A significant amount of data that we collect from real-world applications is in unstructured form. Some examples are images, videos, emails, audio files, web pages, and sensor data. Managing and storing such huge amounts of unstructured data affordably and efficiently is quite challenging. Nowadays, object storage has become a preferable solution for storing such large amounts of static data and backups. Object storage is a computer data architecture...
