settings	nested object	The user settings.
settings.tier	string	The tier (or machine type) for this instance, for example db-n1-standard-1 (MySQL instances) or db-custom-1-3840 (PostgreSQL instances). For MySQL instances, this property determines whether the instance is First or Second Generation. For more information, see Instance Settings.	writable
Optional Properties

settings.storageAutoResize	boolean	Configuration to increase storage size automatically. The default value is true. Not used for First Generation instances.	writable
settings.storageAutoResizeLimit	long	The maximum size to which storage capacity can be automatically increased. The default value is 0, which specifies that there is no limit. Not used for First Generation instances.	writable
settings.userLabels	object	User-provided labels, represented as a dictionary where each label is a single key value pair.	writable
settings.userLabels.(key)	string	An individual label entry, composed of a key and a value.	writable
