This hands-on project teaches you to migrate a standalone PostgreSQL database running on a virtual machine to Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL using Google's Database Migration Service. Working in a real Google Cloud environment, you'll configure a continuous migration job that synchronizes your source database with Cloud SQL, ensuring minimal downtime during migration. The project walks you through establishing connectivity between environments using VPC peering, creating appropriate connection profiles, and setting up the migration workflow. You'll gain practical experience with Google Cloud's database migration tools and learn industry best practices for database transitions.
