C is important for data in transit, but we need to focus on encryption at rest.

I recall that using SSL is important for secure connections, but I don't think it directly relates to managing encryption keys in this context.

I remember studying about customer-managed encryption keys, but I'm not entirely sure if they apply directly to Cloud SQL.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem to cover different approaches, like using SSL encryption or exporting data to Cloud Storage. I'll need to review the details of each option to determine the best solution.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking how to ensure the data stored in Cloud SQL is encrypted with our own keys. Option D, using customer-managed encryption keys, is clearly the way to go. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. I'm not sure if exporting data to Cloud Storage is the right approach, or if using the Cloud SQL Auth proxy is necessary. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward encryption question. I think the key is to use customer-managed encryption keys with Cloud SQL, so I'll go with option D.

Gotta love those customer-supplied encryption keys. Keeps the data safe and the cloud provider honest.

I agree, D is the right answer. Exporting data to Cloud Storage or using SSL encryption alone doesn't give you the same level of control over the encryption keys.
