A manufacturing company is migrating a 5 TB on-premises SQL Server database to Cloud SQL for SQL Server. The migration window is limited to a weekend. The database is actively used during business hours. The team has set up a VPN connection between the on-premises network and Google Cloud. They need to minimize downtime and ensure data consistency. What should the team do?

Use Storage Transfer Service to copy the database files directly to Cloud SQL

Export the database to a dump file, transfer it to Cloud Storage, and import it into Cloud SQL during the maintenance window

Use the Database Migration Service (DMS) to perform a continuous migration, then cut over during the maintenance window

Use Migrate for Compute Engine to move the entire SQL Server instance to a VM on Google Cloud

A logistics company is developing a microservices-based application on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The development team wants to ensure that each service correctly interacts with its dependencies before the code is merged into the main branch. They are using a CI/CD pipeline with Cloud Build. What type of testing should the team integrate into the pipeline to verify these interactions?

Integration tests that run against a temporary environment in the CI pipeline

End-to-end tests that run against the production environment

Load tests that simulate peak production traffic

Unit tests that mock all external dependencies

What is the purpose of a rollback strategy in a system migration plan?

To document the steps taken during the migration

To ensure the migration is completed within the planned downtime window

To revert the system to its previous state if the migration fails or causes critical issues

To validate that the migrated system meets performance requirements
