GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

A SaaS provider operates 40 on-premises virtual machines that each run Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server. All SQL Server licenses include active Software Assurance (SA) that is prepaid through 2026. The company wants to rehost the workload to Google Cloud within three months. Finance insists on avoiding any additional SQL Server licensing costs, and the operations team must preserve existing Always On Availability Group high-availability topology while continuing to manage the guest operating systems. Which migration approach best satisfies these technical and financial requirements?

  • Deploy SQL Server Enterprise Edition on Compute Engine VMs in a shared-host environment using Google-provided Windows Server images, and apply License Mobility through SA to reuse the existing SQL Server licenses.

  • Containerize each SQL Server instance and run them on Google Kubernetes Engine using Google-provided SQL Server container images with pay-as-you-go licensing.

  • Deploy SQL Server Enterprise Edition on Compute Engine sole-tenant nodes to reuse the licenses and avoid Windows Server costs.

  • Migrate the databases to Cloud SQL for SQL Server and use Google's license-included pricing model.
