Google Cloud SQL
Let's start with basic question as why would anyone should use a google cloud service for SQL when you could just install?a sequel server application image on a VM using compute engine.?What is the advantage you get should you build your own database solution or?use a managed service ?
Cloud SQL is a fully managed service of either mySQL,?PostgresSQL or MicrosoftSQL server databases.?This means that patches and updates are automatically applied. However, you still have to administer MySQL users with the native authentication tools that?come with these databases.?
Cloud SQL supports many clients such as cloud Shell application engine and?google workspace scripts.?It also supports other applications and tools that you might be used to like?SQL Workbench, toad and other external applications using standard MySQL drivers.
Cloud SQL provides High availibility, automated and?on demand backups with point in time recovery.
