[All Professional Cloud Developer Questions]

Your team is responsible for developing multiple microservices. These microservices are deployed in Cloud Run and connected to a Cloud SQL instance. You typically conduct tests in a local environment prior to deploying new features. However, the external IP was recently removed from your Cloud SQL instance, and you are unable to perform the tests. You need to connect to the database to conduct tests with the most updated data. You want to follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A. Export the data from the database to a Cloud Storage bucket. Create a database on your computer and import the data.
B. Create a Cloud VPN tunnel from your computer to your Google Cloud project, and connect to the Cloud SQL instance.
C. Add your IP as an authorized network on the Cloud SQL instance.
D. Create a VM in the same VPC as the Cloud SQL instance. Connect to the VM by using Identity-Aware Proxy for TCP forwarding. Install and configure the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy.
