Question

You need to migrate a Redis database from an on-premises data center to a Memorystore for Redis instance. You want to follow Google-recommended practices and perform the migration for minimal cost, time and effort. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Make an RDB backup of the Redis database, use the gsutil utility to copy the RDB file into a Cloud Storage bucket, and then import the RDB file into the Memorystore for Redis instance. Cloud Storage provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. Memorystore provides managed in-memory Redis/Memcached caching to reduce latency and offload databases.
