GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your organization runs dozens of Cloud SQL, Spanner, Bigtable, and AlloyDB instances spread across several projects. The operations team asks for a single console view that shows backup status, replication lag, and security findings for every managed database, lets them drill down to the affected resource, and surfaces Gemini-powered recommendations. Which Google Cloud feature should you enable for them?

Cloud SQL Insights
A custom Service Monitoring workspace in Cloud Monitoring
Database Center
Cloud Asset Inventory dashboard

Report Issue

Answer Description

Database Center is a unified dashboard in the Google Cloud console that aggregates health signals-such as backup coverage, replication lag, high availability status, and security issues-across Cloud SQL, Spanner, Bigtable, AlloyDB, and other managed database services in all selected projects. From this page, operators can click a flagged issue to open the specific database instance for remediation, and Gemini integration supplies AI-driven suggestions. Cloud Asset Inventory lists resources but does not provide database-specific health metrics. Cloud Monitoring workspaces can display metrics, yet they require manual dashboard creation and do not consolidate backup or security findings by default. Cloud SQL Insights is limited to performance diagnostics for individual Cloud SQL instances and does not cover Spanner, Bigtable, or AlloyDB fleets.
