Google Cloud – Professional Cloud Database Engineer
Another recent addition to the list is the Google Cloud – Professional Cloud Database Engineer certification. This certification is one of the four Google Cloud certifications featured on the list and focuses specifically on databases and their deployment and management on Google's platform. However, it should be noted that this task is not as straightforward as it may seem. In order to be eligible to take the certification exam, candidates are required to have a minimum of two years of Google Cloud experience and five years of overall IT and database experience (although these two requirements can overlap).
To earn this certification, candidates must demonstrate their proficiency in designing and implementing scalable and highly available database solutions on the Google Cloud platform. Additionally, they should possess the knowledge and skills to migrate existing databases to the platform and manage solutions that encompass multiple databases. While this certification presents a significant challenge, achieving it can lead to lucrative opportunities, with an average salary of $163,193. It is important to note that this certification should not be confused with the Google Cloud – Professional Data Engineer certification.
The Professional Cloud Database Engineer exam assesses your ability to:
- Design scalable and highly available cloud database solutions
- Manage a solution that can span multiple database solutions
- Migrate data solutions
- Deploy scalable and highly available databases in Google Cloud
