A large enterprise is migrating its data infrastructure to the cloud. They have a mix of legacy on-premises databases and modern cloud applications. The AI team needs to access data from both for a new project. The project has a strict budget and requires low latency for real-time features. What is the most effective approach?

Migrate all legacy data to the cloud first, then build the AI project.

Use a hybrid architecture with cloud storage for new data and a secure connection to on-premises systems for legacy data.

Replicate all legacy data to the cloud in real-time using a data pipeline.

Use only cloud data and ignore legacy data to save costs.

A telecom company is building a network anomaly detection model. They have a data warehouse with call detail records and a NoSQL database with real-time network metrics. The data science team needs to combine these for training. What is the most important consideration?

The latency of the NoSQL database.

The data volume in the data warehouse.

The cost of storing the data in the cloud.

The different data models and schemas of the two sources.

A government agency is digitizing historical records for a public health study. The records are stored in physical archives and some are on microfilm. The agency wants to use this data for AI analysis. What is the first step?

Hire a team to manually enter the data into a spreadsheet.

Digitize all records and store them in a cloud data lake.

Catalog the historical archives and document the format and condition of the records.

Ignore the historical records and use only modern digital data.
