Cloud SQL for SQL Server

A vulnerability was recently discovered in Cloud SQL for SQL Server that allowed customer administrator accounts to create triggers in the tempdb database and use those to gain sysadmin privileges in the instance. The sysadmin privileges would give the attacker access to system databases and partial access to the machine running that SQL Server instance.

Google Cloud resolved the issue by patching the security vulnerability by March 1, 2023. Google Cloud didn't find any compromised customer instances.

For instructions and more details, see the Cloud SQL security bulletin.

You want to gain more control over when maintenance is applied

Cloud SQL now supports maintenance changelogs. Maintenance changelogs provide information about updates available in new maintenance versions, such as database minor version upgrades and patches for security vulnerabilities. For links to current maintenance changelogs for each major database version, see Cloud SQL maintenance changelogs.

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Cloud SQL Second Generation MySQL instances have a new high availability (HA) configuration. The new HA configuration, based on Google's Regional Disks, eliminates replication lag and, combined with automatic failover, provides isolation from many types of infrastructure, hardware, and software failures. Regional disks also ensure that all previously committed database transactions are persisted and available after failover, right up to the time of the failure.

The new high availability configuration is the default. You can continue to use the API to create instances with the legacy high availability configuration (using failover replicas) until the upgrade of existing instances occurs in early 2020. To learn how high availability now works for Second Generation MySQL instances, see the Overview of the high availability configuration. To enable high availability on existing instances, or to create new instances with high availability, see Enabling and disabling high availability on an instance.
