Wait, why not just keep it on-premises?

Cloud Spanner? Isn't that overkill for light traffic?

I think running PostgreSQL on Compute Engine might be similar to what we have now, but I'm not sure if it really minimizes costs.

I'm a bit unsure about Cloud Spanner; it seems like overkill for light traffic and could increase costs.

I feel like Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL could be a good option since it keeps the same database type and might reduce migration effort.

I remember we discussed that Firestore is more suited for NoSQL, so I think that's not the best choice here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions a take-over bid, but I'm not sure how that affects the accountants' liability. I'll need to re-read the details closely.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the proper journal entries for this type of transaction. I'll need to review the accounting standards on sale and leaseback agreements to make sure I understand the requirements.

This is a tricky one. There are a few different places the next number series could be set up, so I'll need to carefully read through each option to figure out which one is the right first step.

Okay, I've got this. For a data inventory, I need to collect information on the data location and the data policies. That will give me a good understanding of where the data is stored and how it's supposed to be managed.
