Google Cloud Professional Cloud Database Engineer — Question 87

Your company is shutting down their on-premises data center and migrating their Oracle databases using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) to Google Cloud. You want minimal to no changes to the applications during the database migration. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Migrate the Oracle databases to Cloud Spanner.
• B. Migrate the Oracle databases to Compute Engine.
• C. Migrate the Oracle databases to Cloud SQL.
• D. Migrate the Oracle databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Bare Metal Solution for Oracle provides a dedicated environment that closely matches the on-premises setup, allowing for minimal application changes. The other options, such as Cloud Spanner and Cloud SQL, do not support Oracle RAC and would require significant modifications to the applications to work with different database architectures.
