Google Cloud Professional Cloud Database Engineer — Question 167

Your company wants to move to Google Cloud. Your current data center is closing in six months. You are running a large, highly transactional Oracle application footprint on VMWare. You need to design a solution with minimal disruption to the current architecture and provide ease of migration to Google Cloud. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Migrate applications and Oracle databases to Google Cloud VMware Engine (VMware Engine).
• B. Migrate applications and Oracle databases to Compute Engine.
• C. Migrate applications to Cloud SQL.
• D. Migrate applications and Oracle databases to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is A because Google Cloud VMware Engine allows you to run your existing VMware workloads natively in Google Cloud, minimizing the disruption to your current applications. Options B, C, and D would require more significant changes to the architecture, which could complicate the migration process and increase downtime.
