Question #: 44
Topic #: 1
[All Professional Cloud Database Engineer Questions]

You are designing a highly available (HA) Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance that will be used by 100 databases. Each database contains 80 tables that were migrated from your on-premises environment to Google Cloud. The applications that use these databases are located in multiple regions in the US, and you need to ensure that read and write operations have low latency. What should you do?

  • A. Deploy 2 Cloud SQL instances in the us-central1 region with HA enabled, and create read replicas in us-east1 and us-west1.
  • B. Deploy 2 Cloud SQL instances in the us-central1 region, and create read replicas in us-east1 and us-west1.
  • C. Deploy 4 Cloud SQL instances in the us-central1 region with HA enabled, and create read replicas in us-central1, us-east1, and us-west1.
  • D. Deploy 4 Cloud SQL instances in the us-central1 region, and create read replicas in us-central1, us-east1 and us-west1.

A is correct. We only have 8000 tables. More than 1 HA env is only required beyond 50000 tables If you have 50,000 or more database tables on a single instance, it could result in the instance becoming unresponsive or unable to perform maintenance operations, and the instance is not covered by the SLA.

although I agree with your answe, table limit is for mysql and not postgresql https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/quotas#table_limit

A. B and D do not mention HA, so eliminate those. That leaves A and C. C talks about 4 instances with HA which presumably means 2 primaries each with an HA standby. Oddly, there are 4 zones in us-central1. The killer is having a read replica also in us-central1 which would mean the same zone would have a read replica and either a primary or HA standby. Not a good idea. Option A is the best choice. A primary and an HA standby in us-central1 (different zones) and then read replicas in us-east1 and us-west1.

The answer is C. you need a instance for a read replica not 2 per read replica.

Answer C is wrong because the question suggests low-latency and replication for 4 region INCREASE latency. Answer A is correct because attend the two requirements high availability and low latency. The Key for this question is low latency.

The correct answer is == C. Deploy 4 Cloud SQL instances in the us-central1 region with HA enabled, and create read replicas in us-central1, us-east1, and us-west1.

we can't have both primary and read replica in same region, it will not be considered as HA i will stick with A.

Selected Answer: C
This option provides high availability with four instances in the primary region, ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance. By creating read replicas in us-central1, us-east1, and us-west1, read operations can be distributed across multiple regions, reducing latency for applications in those regions. This design allows for efficient and low-latency read operations while maintaining high availability. Option C is the recommended choice as it combines HA with multiple read replicas in different regions, providing both high availability and low-latency read operations for your multi-region application setup.

We only need options with HA enabled and 4 databases with 3 read replicas (each?) seems overkill to me.
