This Skill guides you through creating and managing Cloud SQL resources without memorizing gcloud commands or connection procedures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Instance Provisioning: Create Cloud SQL instances for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server with the correct database version, CPU, memory, and region settings. - Secure Connectivity: Set up the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy, configure SSL/TLS, and retrieve instance connection names for client applications. - Operational Guidance: Reference documentation covers backups, Point-in-Time Recovery, high availability, IAM roles, Terraform configuration, and client library connections in Python, Java, Node.js, and Go. - Use Case: You need a PostgreSQL database for a new application. Use this Skill to enable the SQL Admin API, create a POSTGRES_18 instance, set the postgres user password, create a database, and connect via the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instance named my-db in us-central1 and show how to connect to it with the Auth Proxy.
