Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Cloud SQL now supports point-in-time recovery (PITR) for PostgreSQL. Point-in-time recovery helps you recover an instance to a specific point in time. For example, if an error causes a loss of data, you can recover a database to its state before the error occurred.

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Committed use discounts (CUDs) are now available to purchase for Cloud SQL. CUDs provide discounted prices in exchange for your commitment to use a minimum level of resources for a specified term. With committed use discounts for Cloud SQL, you can earn a deep discount off your cost of use in exchange for committing to continuously use database instances in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term.

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

October 18, 2019

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.
