BMS is the only Google database service which supports Oracle aside from GCVE. It allows you to use all native Oracle features including RAC. Since GCVE isn't mentioned, it has to be D - Bare Metal Solution.

I disagree, using the console is easier for small setups.

Terraform scripts are the way to go for automation!

I feel like Dataflow might be overkill for this task, but I can't recall the specifics of when to use it versus Terraform.

I practiced a similar question where we had to ensure compliance with naming conventions, and I think cloning from a template could help with that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think using the Google Cloud Console might be too manual for hundreds of instances.

I remember we discussed automation in class, and Terraform seemed like a solid choice for managing infrastructure.

Option D seems like the easiest solution - just clone a template instance. But I'm not sure if that would fully address the need to adhere to the naming conventions and other standards. Might have to dig deeper into the requirements.

Definitely going to go with option B on this one. Terraform scripts will allow me to easily define and provision the instances according to the company standards. Plus, I can version control the scripts for future use.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Creating hundreds of instances manually using the console UI seems like it would be a real pain. Maybe option A with a Dataflow job could be a good approach?

This seems like a classic case of needing to automate the provisioning process. I'd go with option B and set up Terraform scripts to handle the instance creation and configuration.

The Response Action element is used to call an APEX class and method, right? I'm pretty confident that's the correct answer, but I'll double-check just to be sure.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Removing ACL logging doesn't seem relevant to enabling BFD. I'll need to review the BFD configuration process to determine the correct steps.

Yeah, no way I'm doing that by hand. Might as well just give me a keyboard and tell me to start typing.

Haha, I can just see the IT team trying to create hundreds of instances in the Console. That's going to be a nightmare!

But what if we need to tweak some specific settings for each team? Wouldn't using a template instance be more flexible?

I was thinking the same thing. Terraform scripts would be perfect for this use case. Way easier than manually creating each instance in the Console.

Automating instance creation with Terraform seems like the way to go. It'll help us manage the infrastructure as code and ensure consistency across all the instances.
