Connect to Cloud SQL for SQL Server from Cloud Run

Learn how to deploy a sample app on Cloud Run connected to a SQL Server instance by using the Google Cloud console and a client application.

Assuming that you complete all the steps in a timely manner, the resources created in this quickstart typically cost less than one dollar (USD).

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.
  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Go to project selector

  3. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  4. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Go to project selector

  5. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  6. Enable the Cloud APIs necessary to run a Cloud SQL sample app on Cloud Run.

    Console

    Click Enable APIs to enable the APIs required for this quickstart.

    Enable APIs

    This enables the following APIs:

    • Compute Engine API
    • Cloud SQL Admin API
    • Cloud Run API
    • Container Registry API
    • Cloud Build API
    • Service Networking API

    gcloud

    Click the following button to open Cloud Shell, which provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources directly from the browser. Cloud Shell can be used to run the gcloud commands presented throughout this quickstart.

    Open Cloud Shell

    Run the following gcloud command using Cloud Shell:

    gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com sqladmin.googleapis.com run.googleapis.com \
    containerregistry.googleapis.com cloudbuild.googleapis.com servicenetworking.googleapis.com

    This command enables the following APIs:

    • Compute Engine API
    • Cloud SQL Admin API
    • Cloud Run API
    • Container Registry API
    • Cloud Build API
    • Service Networking API

Set up Cloud SQL

Create a Cloud SQL instance

Create a database

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.

    Go to Cloud SQL Instances

  2. Select quickstart-instance.
  3. From the SQL navigation menu, select Databases.
  4. Click Create database.
    1. In the Database name field of the New database dialog box, enter quickstart-db.
    2. Click Create.

gcloud

Run the gcloud sql databases create command to create a database.

gcloud sql databases create quickstart-db --instance=quickstart-instance

Deploy sample app to Cloud Run

Configure a Cloud Run service account

Configure the service account used by Cloud Run so that it has the Cloud SQL Client role with permissions to connect to Cloud SQL.

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the IAM page.

    Go to IAM

  2. For the service account named Compute Engine default service account, click the pencil icon.
  3. Click ADD ANOTHER ROLE.
  4. Add the Role named Cloud SQL Client.
  5. Click Save.

gcloud

  1. Run the following gcloud command to get a list of your project's service accounts:
    gcloud iam service-accounts list
  2. Copy the EMAIL of the Compute Engine service account.
  3. Run the following command to add the Cloud SQL Client role to Compute Engine service account:
    gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding YOUR_PROJECT_ID \
      --member="serviceAccount:SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL" \
      --role="roles/cloudsql.client"

Configure a Cloud SQL sample app

With a Cloud SQL instance, database, and service account with client permissions, you can now configure a sample application to connect to your Cloud SQL instance.

Deploy the sample app

The steps to deploy the sample to Cloud Run depend on the type of IP address you assigned to your Cloud SQL instance.

Clean up

To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used on this page, follow these steps.

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.

    Go to Cloud SQL Instances

  2. Select the quickstart-instance instance to open the Instance details page.
  3. In the icon bar at the top of the page, click Delete.
  4. In the Delete instance dialog box, type quickstart-instance, and then click Delete to delete the instance.
  5. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Run page.

    Go to Cloud Run

  6. Select the checkbox next to the quickstart-service service name.
  7. Click Delete at the top of the Cloud Run page.

Optional cleanup steps

If you're not using the Cloud SQL client role that you assigned to the Compute Engine service account, you can remove it.

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the IAM page.

    Go to IAM

  2. Click the edit icon (which looks like a pencil) for the IAM account named Compute Engine default service account.
  3. Delete the Cloud SQL client role.
  4. Click Save.
