  • Topic 1 Question 20

    Your customer is running a MySQL database on-premises with read replicas. The nightly incremental backups are expensive and add maintenance overhead. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to migrate the database to Google Cloud, and you need to ensure minimal downtime. What should you do?

    • Create a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster, install MySQL on the cluster, and then import the dump file.

    • Use the mysqldump utility to take a backup of the existing on-premises database, and then import it into Cloud SQL.

    • Create a Compute Engine VM, install MySQL on the VM, and then import the dump file.

    • Create an external replica, and use Cloud SQL to synchronize the data to the replica.
