Securing a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL Instance
This course is part of Google Cloud Database Engineer Specialization.
This hands-on project teaches you essential security practices for Google Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instances. Working in a real Google Cloud environment, you'll learn to deploy PostgreSQL databases with enhanced security controls including customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for data protection. The course guides you through configuring pgAudit to implement comprehensive SQL operation logging and auditing capabilities, allowing you to track and monitor database activities. You'll also set up and test Cloud SQL IAM database authentication to manage access using Google's identity management system. This practical experience is valuable for database administrators and cloud engineers responsible for securing cloud-based database systems. By completing this project, you'll gain the skills needed to implement industry-standard security measures for PostgreSQL databases in Google Cloud, helping protect sensitive data and meet compliance requirements.
