Q: 5
A Customer has their current SAP systems using Microsoft SQL Server as the Database. They are
migrating to Google Cloud and also preparing to later migrate to the latest ver-sion of SAP. The entire
IT team is being directed to focus on the migration to the new ver-sion of SAP. The new version of
SAP does not use Microsoft SQL Server as the Database, Any but the most critical IT management
tasks are being deprioritized, How should they migrate their current database to Google Cloud?

D imo. It’s managed and supports SQL Server, so less overhead while they prep for the SAP upgrade.
Probably D, Cloud SQL is managed and handles SQL Server well for migration. Saw similar on official practice test and the guide.
B or maybe A. Bare Metal gives them full control to run SQL Server just like on-prem and could handle any custom SAP configs better than managed services like D. I think that fits since the team might need flexibility even if it's less automated. Not totally sure though, open to other takes.
B looks reasonable to me here since Bare Metal offers direct control and you can run SQL Server just like on-prem. Not as hands-off as D, but if they have custom SAP/SQL configs, I think B might actually fit. Could be wrong though, anyone disagree?
B or maybe A. Bare Metal gives you more direct control and might be needed for full SQL Server compatibility depending on the SAP setup. I think managed services could be tricky if there's custom tuning, agree?
B , I saw similar questions in some practice sets. Official guide and exam reviews might help check this.
BigQuery (C) is wrong here since it's not built for running transactional SQL Server workloads. D is the one that supports SQL Server natively and reduces admin effort, which matters because the IT team is focused elsewhere.
Nah, BigQuery (C) is a trap, it's not the right fit for transactional SQL Server workloads. D makes more sense here given the managed aspect. Pretty sure about that but open to other views.
Be respectful. No spam.
