I'm not sure, I think option D) Migrate applications and Oracle databases to Google Kubernetes Engine could also be a good choice for scalability.

Cloud SQL? That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it can handle the performance requirements of a large, transactional Oracle application. Might be worth exploring, but I'd want to really dig into the benchmarks.

I agree with Tijuana. VMware Engine seems like the best option for minimal disruption and ease of migration.

Hmm, I'm not sure Compute Engine is the best option here. Maintaining and managing the Oracle database on your own could be a real headache. I'd lean more towards a managed service like Cloud SQL.

Wow, that's a tough one. Migrating a large, highly transactional Oracle footprint to the cloud is no easy feat. I think VMware Engine might be the way to go, as it provides a familiar VMware environment on Google Cloud.
