Cloud SQL automatically keeps your instances up to date with patches and minor version updates.
As indicated in the previous table, the database engines supported by Cloud SQL include multiple versions. The versions can vary in their functionality and in the types of issues that arise. While Cloud SQL recognizes that upgrades impact users, we are committed to providing up-to-date functionality and important patches.
Major and minor versions
For SQL Server, the date forms the major version number.
Major version support
Cloud SQL aims to support new major versions within five months of general availability release by the database engine developer.
Minor version support
Cloud SQL aims to support new minor versions within three months of general availability release by the database engine developer.
Major version deprecation plan
When Cloud SQL intends to end support for a specific major version, we will send a deprecation notice alerting project owners a minimum of 12 months ahead.
Cloud SQL will also provide tools to minimize upgrade disruption, as needed. Any instance that has not moved to the new major version at the end of the 12-month period will be automatically upgraded.
When did Cloud SQL support for each database version begin?
