Google Cloud Professional Cloud Database Engineer — Question 121

You need to issue a new server certificate because your old one is expiring. You need to avoid a restart of your Cloud SQL for MySQL instance. What should you do in your Cloud SQL instance?

Answer options

• A. Issue a rollback, and download your server certificate.
• B. Create a new client certificate, and download it.
• C. Create a new server certificate, and download it.
• D. Reset your SSL configuration, and download your server certificate.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a new server certificate is necessary to replace the expiring one without causing a restart of the Cloud SQL instance. Options A and B are not relevant to issuing a new server certificate, and option D involves resetting the SSL configuration, which is not required in this case.
