Associate Cloud Engineer Exam - Question 3


You want to select and configure a cost-effective solution for relational data on Google Cloud Platform. You are working with a small set of operational data in one geographic location. You need to support point-in-time recovery. What should you do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To select a cost-effective solution for relational data on Google Cloud Platform, especially for a small set of operational data in one geographic location, Cloud SQL (MySQL) is appropriate. Cloud SQL supports point-in-time recovery, which requires enabling binary logging. This feature allows you to restore your database to a specific moment in time, which satisfies the need for point-in-time recovery.

A is Correct. You must enable binary logging to use point-in-time recovery. Enabling binary logging causes a slight reduction in write performance. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/backup-recovery/backups

Correct answer is A. Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational database service that supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. It offers high availability, automatic backups, and point-in-time recovery. By enabling binary logging, you can restore your database to a specific point in time. Cloud SQL is a cost-effective solution for small sets of operational data in one geographic location. It is also a good choice for developers who are familiar with MySQL.

Option A: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/backup-recovery/pitr Perform the point-in-time recovery using binary log positions While we recommend you perform point-in-time recovery using timestamps as described in the previous procedure, you can also perform point-in-time recovery by providing a specific binary log position in a binary log file.
