B) CDC all the way! I bet the developers at Google are using it to keep their own databases running smoothly.

C) A read replica in another region? Sounds like a good idea, but will it really withstand a zonal failure? I'm not convinced.

I see your point, Lura, but I think option C is also a good choice. Creating a read replica in another region provides additional redundancy.

I disagree, I believe option D is the way to go. Enabling high availability will ensure the database is regional and can withstand zonal failures.

I think option A is the best choice because taking nightly snapshots ensures we have up-to-date data in a secondary zone.
