Protecting PaaS assets in GCP
Follow these steps to protect your PaaS assets in GCP. The "Applicable to?" column shows for which database or environment a particular step is required. The Steps column gives you the links to the steps that you need to perform. Ensure that you perform each step completely before you proceed to the next step.
The steps that are applicable to all databases are mandatory steps. You need to perform the database-specific steps only when you protect that database.
