What is a key benefit of using dual-region storage in Cloud Storage?

It provides redundancy across two specific regions, improving disaster recovery.

It provides the highest availability among all location types.

It provides the lowest possible storage cost.

It provides automatic failover for Compute Engine instances.

How does a regional Cloud SQL high availability configuration improve disaster recovery?

It provides a failover replica in a different zone within the same region.

It replicates data to a different region.

It allows multiple primary instances to serve writes.

It automatically backs up data to Cloud Storage.

A company runs a Cloud SQL for MySQL instance in us-central1. They need to recover from a regional outage with an RPO of less than 5 minutes and an RTO of less than 15 minutes. They are considering using automated backups with PITR. They have a large database (2 TB). What should they do?

Use Cloud Storage object versioning.

Enable high availability (HA) configuration.

Create a cross-region failover replica.

Use automated backups with PITR and accept the RTO of restoring from backups.

Which factor is most important when deciding whether to use replication for data redundancy?

The number of objects in the bucket

The recovery point objective (RPO)
