In this lab, you will configure a highly available Cloud SQL instance with read replicas and failover capabilities. You will also automate failover testing and integrate Cloud SQL Insights for robust monitoring. This exercise aims to mimic real-world scenarios where high availability is critical, such as financial services or e-commerce platforms. By the end of this lab, you will have hands-on experience with leveraging Cloud SQL's high availability features to meet stringent uptime SLAs of 99.95%.
A global e-commerce platform requires a database solution that can handle millions of transactions daily while ensuring high availability across regional outages. The company needs to set up a Cloud SQL environment to support a multi-region deployment with automatic failover and strong monitoring capabilities, meeting an SLA of 99.95% uptime with a budget under $10 per hour for database operations.
