D,E. A is wrong because why bother configuring manual backups when Cloud SQL will automate that for you. B seems attractive, but why bother replicating back to on-prem when you can configure a Cloud SQL for HA. C is wrong because a single zone failure would not give you HA. That leaves D & E.

To ensure high availability (HA) for your Cloud SQL instance and adhere to Google-recommended practices, you need to prioritize reliable backups and recovery mechanisms. D. Enable point-in-time recovery: This allows you to recover your database to a specific point in time in case of accidental data deletion or corruption. It ensures minimal data loss and quick recovery. E. Schedule automated backups: Automated backups ensure regular snapshots of your database are taken without manual intervention, providing a reliable recovery point in case of failures.

To prepare your Cloud SQL instance for high availability, you should do the following: D. Enable point-in-time recovery - This feature allows you to restore your database to a specific point in time. It helps protect against data loss and can be used in the event of data corruption or accidental data deletion. E. Schedule automated backups - Automated backups allow you to take regular backups of your database without manual intervention. You can use these backups to restore your database in the event of data loss or corruption. Note that options A and C are not recommended practices for high availability. Option B is not related to Cloud SQL.

D. Enable point-in-time recovery. E. Schedule automated backups. To prepare your Cloud SQL instance for high availability, Google recommends enabling point-in-time recovery and scheduling automated backups. Point-in-time recovery allows you to restore your database to a specific point in time, helping you to recover from data loss or corruption. Scheduling automated backups ensures that you have a recent copy of your database available for recovery in case of an outage or other issue.

Option A, setting up manual backups, would not be a recommended practice because manual backups are prone to errors and can be time-consuming to create and maintain. Automated backups are a more reliable and efficient way to ensure that you have a recent copy of your database available for recovery. Option B, creating a PostgreSQL database on-premises as the HA option, would not be a recommended practice because it would not take advantage of the high availability features provided by Cloud SQL. Option C, configuring single zone availability for automated backups, would not be a recommended practice because it would not provide sufficient protection against outages or other issues. To ensure high availability, it is recommended to use a multi-zone configuration for your Cloud SQL instance.

Automated backups and point-in-time recovery must be enabled for high availability (point-in-time recovery uses binary logs). For more information check here -> https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/high-availability#backups-and-restores
