 The best option for ensuring that third parties are able to upload their data securely and minimizing costs while ensuring that the data is processed as quickly as possible is to provide a Cloud Storage bucket so that third parties can upload batches of data, and provide appropriate Identity and Access Management (IAM) access to the bucket; create a Cloud Function with a google.storage.object.finalize Cloud Storage trigger; write code so that the function can scale up a Compute Engine autoscaling managed instance group; use an image pre-loaded with the data processing software that terminates the instances when processing completes. A Cloud Storage bucket is a resource that allows you to store and access data in Google Cloud. You can provide a Cloud Storage bucket so that third parties can upload batches of data securely and conveniently. You can also provide appropriate IAM access to the bucket by using roles and policies to control who can read or write data to the bucket. A Cloud Function is a serverless function that executes code in response to an event, such as a change in a Cloud Storage bucket. A google.storage.object.finalize trigger is a type of trigger that fires when a new object is created or an existing object is overwritten in a Cloud Storage bucket. You can create a Cloud Function with a google.storage.object.finalize trigger so that the function runs whenever a new batch of data is uploaded to the bucket. You can write code so that the function can scale up a Compute Engine autoscaling managed instance group, which is a group of VM instances that automatically adjusts its size based on load or custom metrics. You can use an image pre-loaded with the data processing software that terminates the instances when processing completes, which means that the instances only run when there is data to process and stop when they are done. This way, you can minimize costs while ensuring that the data is processed as quickly as possible.
