Haha, good one! But yeah, no doubt about it, Cloud Spanner is the right pick here. It's like the database version of a Swiss Army Knife - it can do it all and do it well.

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Cloud Spanner is the way to go. Although, I gotta say, 'Bare Metal Solution for Oracle' sounds like something straight out of a bad sci-fi movie. 'In a world where databases are sentient, only the Bare Metal Solution can save us!'

I agree, Cloud Spanner does seem like the obvious choice here. The other options like Bare Metal Solution for Oracle or Cloud SQL don't seem to meet all the requirements, especially the need for open-source support.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward question. From the requirements, it sounds like we need a fully managed, highly available, and scalable database solution that supports open-source databases. Cloud Spanner seems to fit the bill perfectly with its 99.999% availability and strong transactional consistency.
