A company needs a global, low-latency RX database; which approach should they take?
ASingle-region Cloud SQL
BFirestore multi-region
CBigQuery with regional storage
DCloud Spanner without global instance
Explanation
Firestore multi-region ensures high availability and low-latency globally.
Q72
What happens when you set a Cloud SQL instance's automated storage increase to 0?
ANo increase occurs, manual only
BInstance will automatically delete
CIncreased costs from unused space
DStorage is locked indefinitely

BDatastream
CCloud Functions
DCloud MemoryStore
Explanation
Cloud SQL automates maintenance tasks while other options don't focus on full database management.
