Cloud SQL for MySQL now automatically enables point-in-time recovery (PITR) in a separate, asynchronous operation after disaster recovery (DR) switchover and replica failover operations complete. Because PITR enablement no longer blocks switchover and replica failover, these operations complete faster, helping you reduce your recovery time.
Beginning April 12, 2027, you won't be able to create new instances of Cloud SQL for SQL Server 2017. Starting on October 13, 2027, SQL Server 2017 will reach end of life (EOL) and Microsoft will stop releasing security updates .

Regional endpoints (REP) are now generally available ( GA ) for the Cloud SQL for MySQL Admin API. Regional endpoints let you interact with Cloud SQL for MySQL instances using regionalized URLs (such as sqladmin. {region} .rep.googleapis.com ) rather than through a single global endpoint.
Cloud SQL for SQL Server now supports connecting to instances with write endpoints using the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy or Cloud SQL language connectors. When you configure the proxy or a language connector with a write endpoint DNS name, connections are redirected automatically to the new primary instance during replica failover or switchover.
Cloud SQL supports Workforce Identity Federation authentication. This lets you authenticate to your Cloud SQL instance using identities from an external identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory or Okta. For more information, see Workforce Identity Federation authentication . Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
You can use the pgAudit extension to prevent string literals that might indicate sensitive information, such as passwords and secrets, from appearing in your log query results. This pgAudit extension capability is supported on [PostgreSQL version].R20260712.01_06 or later. For more information, see Audit for PostgreSQL using pgAudit .
Cloud SQL now makes it easier to configure Private Service Connect for your Cloud SQL instance. When you create an instance that's enabled with Private Service Connect, you can choose to automatically create the service connection policy and endpoint in the VPC network that you want to use with Private Service Connect.
Use assessments ( Preview ) in Database Center to assess and test the performance impact of database recommendations before you apply them to your production database fleet. The assessments workflow performs these operations: Clones your database instance. Runs benchmarking simulation tests on the clone.
Cloud SQL for MySQL 9.7 is generally available ( GA ). For more information about the differences between MySQL 9.7 and previous versions, review the MySQL 9.7 Release Notes .
The Cloud SQL remote MCP server now supports specialized endpoint URLs (toolsets) for /readonly , /instance_manage , and /query_execution . Specialized toolset URLs let you restrict the set of exposed MCP tools based on your security and workflow requirements. For more information, see Available toolsets .
Newly created instances configured with high availability (HA) now have Knowledge Catalog (formerly Dataplex Universal Catalog) enabled by default. Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instances running on PostgreSQL version 14.0 or later send updates and metadata to Knowledge Catalog in near real-time.
Performance capture for Cloud SQL for MySQL is now generally available ( GA ). Performance capture lets you take a point-in-time snapshot of your database and operating system metrics automatically and route them to Cloud Logging for root-cause analysis.
DNS automation is now generally available ( GA ) on Cloud SQL instances where Private Service Connect is enabled. You can use DNS automation to provision and manage per-instance DNS records automatically.

You can now assess the upgrade readiness of your Cloud SQL for MySQL instances before a major version upgrade by running a precheck. This precheck analyzes your instance for version incompatibilities and lists any issues that need to be fixed prior to your upgrade. For more information, see Assess upgrade readiness for your instance .
Cloud SQL now supports Private Service Connect outbound connectivity on the following additional types of instances: Read replica instances. Instances that use advanced disaster recovery features such as switchover and failover operations.
