ABy selecting the database engine version only
BBy specifying the number of vCPUs and memory size
CBy choosing the network egress bandwidth
DBy setting the backup retention period
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand pricing tiers

    Cloud SQL pricing tiers are based on the compute resources: vCPUs and RAM.

  2. Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options

    Database engine version, network egress, and backup retention affect cost but do not define the tier.

  3. Final Answer:

    By specifying the number of vCPUs and memory size -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Tier = vCPUs + RAM [OK]
Quick Trick: Tier depends on vCPUs and RAM [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing engine version with tier
  • Thinking network egress defines tier
  • Assuming backup settings define tier
