Google Cross Region Replica Cloud is very much needed when a Google regional Cloud region is down. In the worst scenario, the Cloud region suffer from outage that leads to temporary business halt.

And this can cause unsatisfactory service for your customers. At whichever scale your business at, immediate and top quality of service is such as necessity. Google Cross Region Replica Cloud stems from the possible disruption. To anticipate the negative effect, Google introduced cloud replica in June this year.

Google launched Cloud SQL cross-region replication which is available for MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines. The innovation comes from close cooperation with Cloud SQL customers facing business continuity challenges to simply the experience.

Cross-regional replica for Cloud SQL allows for easier fully-managed read replica creation in a different region than that of the primary instance. The innovation has been used by Major League Baseball (MLB) that said cross-region replicas have been beneficial.

Greg Cain, MLB vice president on Baseball Data said that his office stores all of important tracking information, such as location of player, pitch velocity and wind data on Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. The tactic helps the fans across the globe enjoying games without any interruptions.

Technically speaking, using Cloud SQL cross-region replicas bring benefits, like minimizing recovery point objective (RPO). With the attribute of a cross-region replica that reflects changes to the primary instance in almost real time, data loss looks very small as a Google Cloud region fails.

With Cloud SQL cross-region replicas, you can distribute data faster to the next cloud regions. It only takes minutes for transmitting the data hence your business can resume at once. Downtime period can be minimized optimally.

Security and privacy factors remain pivotal in addition to data transmission speed. Cross-region replicas deploy encryption for keeping all the data confidential. When a private IP option is used, cross-region replicas traffic remains private that cuts access to and from the public internet.

With the various benefits, Google will only allow to create replicas in permitted regions. At last, Google deploys Network Intelligence Centre for network monitoring, verification and optimization for simpler performance.
