Google Professional Cloud Database Engineer Exam Course Outline
The Exam covers the given topics -
Section 1: Understand the Design scalable and highly available cloud database solutions (42%)
1.1 Analyze relevant variables to perform database capacity and usage planning. Activities include:
- Given a scenario, perform solution sizing based on current environment workload metrics and future requirements
- Evaluate performance and cost tradeoffs of different database configurations (machine types, HDD versus SSD, etc.)
- Size database compute and storage based on performance requirements
1.2 Evaluate database high availability and disaster recovery options given the requirements. Activities include:
- Evaluate tradeoffs between multi-region, region, and zonal database deployment strategies
- Given a scenario, define maintenance windows and notifications based on application availability requirements
- Plan database upgrades for Google Cloud-managed databases
1.3 Determine how applications will connect to the database. Activities include:
- Design scalable, highly available, and secure databases
- Configure network and security (Cloud SQL Auth Proxy, CMEK, SSL certificates)
- Justify the use of session pooler services
- Assess auditing policies for managed services
1.4 Evaluate appropriate database solutions on Google Cloud. Activities include:
- Differentiate between managed and unmanaged database services (self-managed, bare metal, Google-managed databases and partner database offerings)
- Distinguish between SQL and NoSQL business requirements (structured, semi-structured, unstructured)
- Analyze the cost of running database solutions in Google Cloud (comparative analysis)
- Assess application and database dependencies
Section 2: Managing a solution that can span multiple database solutions (34%)
2.1 Determine database connectivity and access management considerations. Activities include:
- Determine Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies for database connectivity and access control
- Manage database users, including authentication and access
2.2 Configure database monitoring and troubleshooting options. Activities include:
- Assess slow running queries and database locking and identify missing indexes
- Monitor and investigate database vitals: RAM, CPU storage, I/O, Cloud Logging
- Monitor and update quotas
- Investigate database resource contention
- Set up alerts for errors and performance metrics
2.3 Design database backup and recovery solutions. Activities include:
- Given SLAs and SLOs, recommend backup and recovery options (automatic scheduled backups)
- Configure export and import data for databases
- Design for recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO)
2.4 Optimize database cost and performance in Google Cloud. Activities include:
- Assess options for scaling up and scaling out.
- Scale database instances based on current and upcoming workload
- Define replication strategies
- Continuously assess and optimize the cost of running a database solution
2.5 Determine solutions to automate database tasks. Activities include:
- Perform database maintenance
- Assess table fragmentation
- Schedule database exports
Section 3: Learn about migrating data solutions (14%)
3.1 Design and implement data migration and replication. Activities include:
- Develop and execute migration strategies and plans, including zero downtime, near-zero downtime, extended outage, and fallback plans
- Reverse replication from Google Cloud to source
- Plan and perform database migration, including fallback plans and schema conversion
- Determine the correct database migration tools for a given scenario
Section 4: Deploying scalable and highly available databases in Google Cloud (10%)
4.1 Apply concepts to implement highly scalable and available databases in Google Cloud. Activities include:
- Provision high availability database solutions in Google Cloud
- Test high availability and disaster recovery strategies periodically
- Set up multi-regional replication for databases
- Assess requirements for read replicas
- Automate database instance provisioning
