You can learn about Google Cloud database products by entering prompts into
Gemini at the Google Cloud project or folder level. For example,
you can learn about the following:
Database Center concepts. For example, you can prompt
Gemini to provide guidance about how
Database Center measures your database fleet health.
Database Center health issues. For example, you can
prompt Gemini to explain why it's an issue that your
database has public IP enabled.
The following are example prompts to help you learn general information about
Database Center:
"How does Database Center measure my database fleet health?"
"What data sources does Database Center use?"
"What does it mean for a database resource to be failover protected?"
In the Gemini chat enter a prompt, for example, What is a
database fleet?
To send the prompt, click sendSend. Gemini returns
a response similar to the following:
A database fleet consists of all the provisioned database resources across all Google Cloud database products that your organization uses. Database resources are the clusters, instances, and virtual machines that power your workloads. Database Center supports Cloud SQL for MySQL, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, and AlloyDB.
