Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
A retail organization runs its primary transactional database on Google Cloud using Cloud SQL for MySQL. During seasonal promotions, the application experiences sudden, unpredictable surges in transaction volume and data growth. In the past, unexpected data spikes caused on-premises database crashes due to disk space exhaustion.
The cloud architect needs to design a storage provisioning and capacity management strategy that satisfies the following requirements:
Which configuration strategy should the architect implement?
Cloud SQL automatic storage increase (storage auto-resize) is a managed feature that automatically detects when an instance is running low on available storage capacity and allocates additional disk space in real time. Configuring an automatic storage increase limit sets an upper threshold on how much storage the instance can automatically provision, providing cost governance alongside automated availability.
This approach directly leverages native Google Cloud database management features to eliminate operational toil and downtime risks, striking the optimal balance between continuous database availability and predictable financial control.
