Zorluk: ZorManaging Storage and Database Solutions

Your organization operates a production Cloud SQL for MySQL instance that supports a mission-critical transactional application. During peak hours, complex analytical reporting queries involving multi-table SQL joins cause severe CPU throttling on the primary instance, impacting transaction processing. You must resolve the performance bottleneck for reporting workloads while maintaining real-time transactional data access, ensuring no schema changes are required, and minimizing operational overhead. What should you do?

  1. Create a Cloud SQL read replica, configure the reporting application to query the read replica's IP address, and maintain write operations on the primary instance.Cevap
  2. B
    Export the transactional tables daily to a Cloud Storage Archive bucket and configure BigQuery external tables to execute the reporting queries.
  3. C
    Migrate the database tables to Cloud Bigtable to handle high-throughput analytical reporting and transactional queries within a single NoSQL cluster.
  4. D
    Enable High Availability (HA) failover on the primary Cloud SQL instance so that read traffic is automatically load balanced to the standby instance.

Cevap

Create a Cloud SQL read replica, configure the reporting application to query the read replica's IP address, and maintain write operations on the primary instance.
Creating a Cloud SQL read replica allows read-heavy reporting queries to be processed independently from the primary instance. This eliminates CPU contention on the primary database, maintains relational SQL join functionality, provides near real-time data access via asynchronous replication, and requires zero schema migration overhead.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the workload requirements
The reporting queries require real-time data access, relational capabilities (multi-table SQL joins), and relief of CPU pressure on the primary transactional database.
Identifying that the workload is read-heavy and relational narrows down valid architecture options.
2
Evaluate Cloud SQL scaling capabilities
Cloud SQL supports read replicas, which asynchronously replicate data from the primary instance to serve read-only queries.
Deploying a read replica offloads reporting queries without changing database schemas or affecting primary instance transaction performance.
3
Reject non-viable alternatives
High Availability standby instances do not process read traffic; Cloud Bigtable does not support relational SQL joins; Cloud Storage Archive incur high retrieval costs for daily access.
Eliminating options that break operational or architectural constraints confirms the optimal choice.
