Your company is shutting down their on-premises data center and migrating their Oracle databases using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) to Google Cloud. You want minimal to no changes to the app

Question

Options

• AMigrate the Oracle databases to Cloud Spanner.
• BMigrate the Oracle databases to Compute Engine.
• CMigrate the Oracle databases to Cloud SQL.
• DMigrate the Oracle databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle.

Explanation

Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a complex, proprietary clustering technology that requires shared disk access, Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS), and Oracle-specific kernel extensions. None of the standard GCP managed database services (Cloud Spanner, Cloud SQL) support Oracle RAC natively. Bare Metal Solution for Oracle provides dedicated, bare-metal hardware in Google's data centers specifically certified and designed to run Oracle Database workloads, including RAC, without requiring any application-level changes. Migrating to Cloud Spanner (A) would require a complete re-architecture. Cloud SQL (C) does not support Oracle. Compute Engine (B) could theoretically run Oracle but would not support the RAC shared-storage clustering model in the same way Bare Metal Solution does.
