Question #: 23
Topic #: 11

[All Professional Cloud Database Engineer Questions]

Your company is migrating all legacy applications to Google Cloud. All on-premises applications are using legacy Oracle 12c databases with Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) for high availability (HA) and Oracle Data Guard for disaster recovery. You need a solution that requires minimal code changes, provides the same high availability you have today on-premises, and supports a low latency network for migrated legacy applications. What should you do?

AMigrate the databases to Cloud Spanner.

BMigrate the databases to Cloud SQL, and enable a standby database.

CMigrate the databases to Compute Engine using regional persistent disks.

DMigrate the databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

BMS is the only Google database service which supports Oracle aside from GCVE. It allows you to use all native Oracle features including RAC. Since GCVE isn't mentioned, it has to be D - Bare Metal Solution.

What about Cloud Spanner? That's Google's fully managed database service. It might be a good fit since it's designed for high availability and scalability.

Cloud SQL sounds like a good option too. Having a standby database for disaster recovery is important.

Haha, can you imagine trying to migrate these Oracle RAC databases to Cloud SQL? Talk about a nightmare. That's definitely not the way to go.

Exactly, and we need something that can handle the complex SQL queries these legacy apps are using. Cloud Spanner might not be the best fit for that.

Good point, Sarah. But I'm not sure Cloud Spanner can match the low latency requirements we have for these legacy apps. It's more of a NoSQL-style database, right?
