What are all of the BigQuery operations that Google charges for?

You work for a large fast food restaurant chain with over 400,000 employees. You store employee information in Google BigQuery in a Users table consisting of a FirstName field and a LastName field. A member of IT is building an application and asks you to modify the schema and data in BigQuery so the application can query a FullName field consisting of the value of the FirstName field concatenated with a space, followed by the value of the LastName field for each employee. How can you make that data available while minimizing cost?

Flowlogistic Case Study
Company Overview
Flowlogistic is a leading logistics and supply chain provider. They help businesses throughout the world manage their resources and transport them to their final destination. The company has grown rapidly, expanding their offerings to include rail, truck, aircraft, and oceanic shipping.
Company Background
The company started as a regional trucking company, and then expanded into other logistics market. Because they have not updated their infrastructure, managing and tracking orders and shipments has become a bottleneck. To improve operations, Flowlogistic developed proprietary technology for tracking shipments in real time at the parcel level. However, they are unable to deploy it because their technology stack, based on Apache Kafka, cannot support the processing volume. In addition, Flowlogistic wants to further analyze their orders and shipments to determine how best to deploy their resources.
Solution Concept
Flowlogistic wants to implement two concepts using the cloud:
* Use their proprietary technology in a real-time inventory-tracking system that indicates the location of their loads
* Perform analytics on all their orders and shipment logs, which contain both structured and unstructured data, to determine how best to deploy resources, which markets to expand info. They also want to use predictive analytics to learn earlier when a shipment will be delayed.
Existing Technical Environment
Flowlogistic architecture resides in a single data center:
* Databases
- 8 physical servers in 2 clusters
- SQL Server - user data, inventory, static data
- 3 physical servers
- Cassandra - metadata, tracking messages
10 Kafka servers - tracking message aggregation and batch insert
* Application servers - customer front end, middleware for order/customs
- 60 virtual machines across 20 physical servers
- Tomcat - Java services
- Nginx - static content
- Batch servers
* Storage appliances
- iSCSI for virtual machine (VM) hosts
- Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN) - SQL server storage
Network-attached storage (NAS) image storage, logs, backups
* 10 Apache Hadoop /Spark servers
- Core Data Lake
- Data analysis workloads
* 20 miscellaneous servers
- Jenkins, monitoring, bastion hosts,
Business Requirements
* Build a reliable and reproducible environment with scaled panty of production.
* Aggregate data in a centralized Data Lake for analysis
* Use historical data to perform predictive analytics on future shipments
* Accurately track every shipment worldwide using proprietary technology
* Improve business agility and speed of innovation through rapid provisioning of new resources
* Analyze and optimize architecture for performance in the cloud
* Migrate fully to the cloud if all other requirements are met
Technical Requirements
* Handle both streaming and batch data
* Migrate existing Hadoop workloads
* Ensure architecture is scalable and elastic to meet the changing demands of the company.
* Use managed services whenever possible
* Encrypt data flight and at rest

SEO Statement
We have grown so quickly that our inability to upgrade our infrastructure is really hampering further growth and efficiency. We are efficient at moving shipments around the world, but we are inefficient at moving data around.
We need to organize our information so we can more easily understand where our customers are and what they are shipping.
CTO Statement
IT has never been a priority for us, so as our data has grown, we have not invested enough in our technology. I have a good staff to manage IT, but they are so busy managing our infrastructure that I cannot get them to do the things that really matter, such as organizing our data, building the analytics, and figuring out how to implement the CFO' s tracking technology.
CFO Statement
Part of our competitive advantage is that we penalize ourselves for late shipments and deliveries. Knowing where out shipments are at all times has a direct correlation to our bottom line and profitability. Additionally, I don't want to commit capital to building out a server environment.
Flowlogistic's management has determined that the current Apache Kafka servers cannot handle the data volume for their real-time inventory tracking system. You need to build a new system on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that will feed the proprietary tracking software. The system must be able to ingest data from a variety of global sources, process and query in real-time, and store the data reliably. Which combination of GCP products should you choose?

Your company produces 20,000 files every hour. Each data file is formatted as a comma separated values (CSV) file that is less than 4 KB. All files must be ingested on Google Cloud Platform before they can be processed. Your company site has a 200 ms latency to Google Cloud, and your Internet connection bandwidth is limited as 50 Mbps. You currently deploy a secure FTP (SFTP) server on a virtual machine in Google Compute Engine as the data ingestion point. A local SFTP client runs on a dedicated machine to transmit the CSV files as is. The goal is to make reports with data from the previous day available to the executives by 10:00 a.m. each day. This design is barely able to keep up with the current volume, even though the bandwidth utilization is rather low. You are told that due to seasonality, your company expects the number of files to double for the next three months. Which two actions should you take? (choose two.)

Your United States-based company has created an application for assessing and responding to user actions.
The primary table's data volume grows by 250,000 records per second. Many third parties use your application's APIs to build the functionality into their own frontend applications. Your application's APIs should comply with the following requirements:
* Single global endpoint
* ANSI SQL support
* Consistent access to the most up-to-date data
