Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer ACE — Topic 1 Question 269

Question

You are deploying an application on Google Cloud that requires a relational database for storage. To satisfy your company’s security policies, your application must connect to your database through an encrypted and authenticated connection that requires minimal management and integrates with Identity and Access Management (IAM). What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Deploy a Cloud SQL database and configure IAM database authentication. Access the database through the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy. Cloud SQL is a managed relational database (MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQL Server) that handles patching, backups, and failover. Cloud IAM grants fine-grained, least-privilege access to Google Cloud resources.
