I'm trying to contact a SQL Server hosted on Google Cloud SQL using Private IP and VPC serverless access in Google Cloud Function)
This is actually not working (The Google Cloud Function reach its timeout) but in the same condition I succeed contacting on the private IP a PostgresSQL server, all other things being equaled (the infrastructure is deployed by Terraform to ensure exact same conditions, I just change the database_version)
The database, the VPC Serverless access and the Google Cloud Functions are all deployed in the same region.
Is there any workaround or solution to make it work?
If you check the oficial documentation Connecting to Cloud SQL from Cloud Functions, you will see that there is no support for connecting to SQL Server Beta from Google Cloud Functions.
This page is not available for SQL Server database engine

Use case: I am managing both GCP infrastructure and local infrastructure and am looking for a way for an app on Google App Engine to send data to/from a MySQL database on the local infrastructure, which is behind a VPN. I've set up and tested a Cloud VPN Gateway and VPC Connector that allows a Google Compute Engine instance to connect to the MySQL database and send and retrieve data.
Per this thread, and my own experimentation, the Google App Engine standard environment cannot currently connect to a local network via Google Cloud VPN directly. I've also been testing Cloud Function and Cloud Run to see if they can connect with the Cloud VPN, and it seems that they also have this limitation.
What I'd like to confirm is that only the Google App Engine flex environment OR a Google Compute Engine instance can connect through Cloud VPN. Google's documentation across all these resources doesn't ever outright say whether any of them can connect to Cloud VPN through a VPC Connector (just that they can connect to GCP networks via VPC Connector), so I'm hoping someone here can corroborate my testing. Additionally, is there any other GCP resource that can make use of this functionality that I've missed?
I have a project running on APP Engine that must connect to a database located on a Google Cloud VM instance. The project works normally when I run it from my local machine but after deployment it can't connect to the database. After some research I found out that we can use a VPC connector, but this is not a free service. As far as I could understand, the VPC connector allows me to use the internal ip instead of an external ip. For me, there would be no problem using an external ip, but I don't know if that's possible (I'm using a standard GAE environment). Is there any other way to make the connection works without using the VPC connector?
I want to connect the SQL Server database(Present in On-Premise) using Google Cloud Compute Engine instance.
Thank you in advance
I think that you can follow the instruction of this information, because I understand that you want to access data stored by your on-premises SQLServer, over Cloud VPN and think you need to Configure Private Google Access for on-premises hosts and then you connect as usual to database
We have this discussion in our office and can not come to a conclusion. So I am reaching out here for some advice.
We have a Google Cloud SQL running with no public IP. Google App engine from different App Engine project connect to this single cloud SQL by authorizing their service account.
There are no VPC setup between the projects. The apps are on google app engine standard environment. The instance's private IP is not used in the app projects.
The connections between the projects are made using the tutorial found here
https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-app-engine
creating an connection string as
mysql+pymysql://<db_user>:<db_pass>#/<db_name>?unix_socket=/cloudsql/<cloud_sql_instance_name>
The question is how does the traffic flow from other App Engine projects to this Cloud SQL instance?
Does the connect handshake go via the internet (ie outside Google's Network) or does google handles the traffic and routes it internally without the request ever going to the internet?
It would be a great help if any one can help answer these questions.
The answer to this actually varies depending on which version of App Engine you are using.
On older versions of App Engine Standard, the /cloudsql/ unix socket connected over an internal network directly to your instance.
On more recent versions of App Engine Standard, it uses a version of the Cloud SQL proxy to authenticate your connection to the instance via it's public IP. This is why the Connecting from App Engine page states your Cloud SQL instance must have a public IP.
If you have configured your Cloud SQL to use a Private IP address then connectivity occurs using VPC Network Peering and your communication from your Google App Engine (running inside Google and VPC connected) to your managed Cloud SQL (running on a separated VPC Network) is all internal within Google using VPC.
Details on this can be found in the article here:
Introducing private networking connection for Cloud SQL
Private IP (MySql)
Configuring private IP connectivity (PostgreSQL)
The connection from the App Engine Standard to the Cloud SQL instance it is made over the internet. There are more internal services between the App Engine and the Cloud SQL, but the calls are not made to the private IP of the instance, by default.
If you look in the readme of the connector's repository you can see that you can use almost the same method to connect to the Cloud SQL instance from your local env. That might be a clue that things happen on the internet.
When trying to connect my Google App Engine to my Google Cloud SQL Instance (Second Generation), I cannot find the "...Authorized App Engine applications section..." (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/cloud-sql/#PHP_Build_a_starter_application_and_database).
Am I just blind, or does this not exist anymore?
If it doesn't exist, how does one connect a Google App Engine to a Google Cloud SQL (Second Generation)?
Please review the limitations of Google Cloud SQL Second Generation.
Because Cloud SQL Second Generation instances are in beta, the following features are not available:
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
MySQL 5.5
MySQL 5.6 is supported.
Google App Engine connectivity. Connectivity is supported for other clients, including Compute Engine, Managed VMs, Container Engine, and your workstation.
....
I'd like to mention that although Google App Engine connectivity is not yet supported for the Cloud SQL Second Generation like the way is supported for Cloud SQL 1st Gen, however this doesn't mean that you cannot use Cloud SQL 2nd Gen with your App Engine applications.
You can use access control model which is described in this article as used for other applications. Since IP address of your App Engine application will be not a static address, you will need to authorize 0.0.0.0/0 IP range as an allowed network and use Allow only SSL connections feature of the Cloud SQL to allow only SSL connections. Configure SSL and generate keys and client certificate for your application and establish a secure connections using SSL.
Right now, App Engine cannot be used with CloudSQL Gen2. It should be possible once the CloudSQL Gen2 graduate to General Availability but right now, if you need to use it with App Engine, you'll need to stick with CloudSQL v1
