Q: 3
Your company has PostgreSQL databases on-premises and on Amazon Web Services (AWS). You are
planning multiple database migrations to Cloud SQL in an effort to reduce costs and downtime. You
want to follow Google-recommended practices and use Google native data migration tools. You also
want to closely monitor the migrations as part of the cutover strategy. What should you do?

Option A fits best since Database Migration Service (DMS) is Google's native tool, and it's designed for both one-time and minimal-downtime migrations with monitoring built in. Pretty sure that's what Google wants you to pick here, but open if anyone has counterpoints!
A. matches official guide recommendations for native migrations. I’ve seen similar on practice tests too.
Maybe D makes more sense, since sometimes partner tools are used along with Database Migration Service when you want more monitoring or advanced migration features. Not 100% sure though, feels like a common trap in these questions.
A tbh
A since the question says to use native Google tools and doesn't mention ongoing CDC. Unless I'm missing a scenario?
Saw this on a practice recently, pretty sure it's A.
Probably A, I remember a similar question in an exam report and DMS is the Google-native choice.
A is correct, official guide and exam practice both point to Database Migration Service for this.
Its A here, Google specifically recommends the Database Migration Service for these use cases and you can monitor everything through their console. Nothing in the scenario calls for CDC or third-party tools. Pretty sure but open to other views.
A imo
