A developer is building an application that calls the Cloud Vision API. The application needs to handle transient failures, such as rate limiting and server errors. The developer wants to implement a retry strategy that is resilient and does not overwhelm the API. What should the developer do?

Use a fixed delay of 1 second between retries.

Use exponential backoff with jitter and retry only on 429 and 500 errors.

Retry immediately on any error up to 10 times.

Use the client library's default retry behavior without any customization.

A data engineer needs to run a one-time SQL query against a BigQuery dataset and save the results to a new table. The engineer wants to do this from a terminal without writing any code. What should the engineer do?

Use the bq mk command to create a new table and then use bq insert to add the query results.

Use the bq load command to load the query results from a file.

Use the gcloud bigquery query command with the --destination_table flag.

Use the bq query command with the --destination_table flag and the --replace flag.
