A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A Cloud SQL database must keep serving if a single zone fails. Which configuration provides automatic failover to another zone?

Concept
High availability places a standby in a second zone and fails over automatically on zone loss. This reduces downtime compared with a single-zone instance.
Why D
A Cloud SQL HA configuration is a regional instance with primary and standby zones and automatic failover.
