A company is migrating a large on-premises Oracle database to Google Cloud. They want to reduce licensing costs and modernize the architecture. Which THREE strategies should they consider? (Choose 3)

Select 3 answers

A.Convert to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

B.Migrate to Firestore

C.Use Database Migration Service (DMS) for homogenous migration

D.Use Bare Metal Solution for Oracle

E.Migrate to Cloud Spanner

AnswersA, D, E

PostgreSQL is open-source, eliminating Oracle license fees.

Why this answer

Migrating to Cloud Spanner avoids Oracle licensing and provides horizontal scaling. Bare Metal Solution is for lift-and-shift without modernization. Converting to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL reduces license costs but may require schema changes.

Option D is for migration tooling, not a long-term strategy; option E is a different database type.
