A. The key here is the current architecture and minimal disruption to it. The simplest way to keep the current architecture is a live migrate using VMware. That can only mean one thing, use Oracle running in GCVE. You could do B. There's nothing stopping you creating a VM in GCE, copying the Oracle binaries to it and spinning up an Oracle database or several. However, the licensing costs would not be attractive (if even supported), plus the migration would likely be disruptive. C is wrong because Cloud SQL doesn't support Oracle. D is wrong because that represents an architecture change.
