GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

A developer needs to quickly inspect the contents of a Cloud SQL for MySQL database named "sales" that is running in the project. The developer is working from Cloud Shell and wants an interactive SQL prompt to issue ad-hoc SELECT queries without leaving the browser. Which approach meets the requirement using built-in tools and the least amount of setup?

  • Issue a bq query command with the Cloud SQL connection string and embed the SELECT statement as text.

  • Create a Cloud Run job that mounts the Cloud SQL connection via a connector and runs the mysql client inside the container.

  • Execute gcloud sql connect sales-mysql --user=appuser --database=sales in Cloud Shell and enter the password when prompted.

  • SSH into a private VM on the same VPC, install the mysql client manually, and connect to the instance's private IP address.
