Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer PCSE — Topic 1 Question 329

Question

Your organization is implementing a new Python application that will be deployed on Cloud Run. The application needs to connect to a MySQL database that runs on Cloud SQL in a different project in your Google Cloud organization. You must secure the connection from the application to the Cloud SQL instance while minimizing management overhead. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Ensure that the Cloud SQL instance doesn’t have a public IP address. Configure Cloud Run to use Cloud SQL Auth Proxy to connect to the Cloud SQL instance. Cloud Run runs stateless containers serverlessly and scales to zero, minimizing operational overhead. Cloud SQL is a managed relational database (MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQL Server) that handles patching, backups, and failover.
