Google PCA Practice Question: Managing Implementation and Ensuring Solution and Operations Reliability
A company uses Cloud SQL for MySQL for its transactional database. They need to ensure automatic failover in case of a zonal outage with minimal data loss. What configuration should they use?
Correct answer & explanation
Cloud SQL High Availability (HA) configuration creates a standby instance in a different zone within the same region. If the primary fails, it automatically fails over to the standby, minimizing downtime. Backup and PITR help with data loss but do not provide automatic failover.
