"Snowflake cannot be run on private cloud infrastructures (on-premises or hosted) " why is this so ? and what does it take to host it on private cloud ?
This is because only Snowflake decides how to offer their software, and they decided no on-prem or hosted. There is no way to work past that.
Arun, you can not host Snowflake on a private cloud but you can ask for a private deployment dedicated you:
https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/user-guide/intro-editions.html#virtual-private-snowflake-vps
By the way, it can not be deployed on-premises because the Snowflake is build for Cloud, and it depends on some cloud components.

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
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.
I have a Google Cloud project with an app and a Cloud SQL Instance. SQL requests from the app time out. Private IP connectivity is enabled. If I explicitly add the app instances' IPs to the SQL Instance's public authorized networks, it works. This is obviously a bad solution since these IPs change on every deployment. How do I permanently grant access to the app?
Private IP's are only accessible by other services on the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). App Engine apps don't currently have access to VPC networks.
Edit: App Engine has recently released Serverless VPC Access, meaning that the can now be configured to connect via Private IP.
App Engine Standard does provide a unix domain socket to interface with Cloud SQL instances. Just tell your app to use the socket at /cloudsql/<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>; (with your instance's connection name), and it should be able to connect. If you are using a cross product or cross regional setup, there are more instructions here.
I was moving all website to google cloud and encounter a performance problem.
I set up a VM instance on Compute Engine and a Cloud SQL server.
And connect the Joomla website from VM to Cloud SQL server using provided IP address. (Seems public IP)
The performance is really slow compared to the website using local database inside the VM itself.
So, my question is, is there a way to find local IP to connect to Cloud SQL since our web server is also on the Google Cloud infra itself.
Or, the only way is to stick with the database inside VM?
Update
I set up the Cloud proxy using this guide.
Can connect to mysql prompt with the proxy now.
But still cannot find a way to let joomla use this cloud proxy to connect to the database.
The fastest, easiest, and most secure way to connect to your Cloud SQL instance from your Compute instance is by using the Cloud SQL Proxy. There are multiple reasons for this, but here are the main ones:
Secure connections: The proxy automatically encrypts traffic to and from the database using TLS 1.2 with a 128-bit AES cipher; SSL certificates are used to verify client and server identities.
Easier connection management: The proxy handles authentication with Google Cloud SQL, removing the need to provide static IP addresses.
There's also the fact that you only need a static and small number of instances (1 in your case) connecting to the database, so you don't really need to overcomplicate your setup, you can just drop this binary into your instance, run it as a daemon, and instantly have a fast lane to your Cloud SQL instance (I use "fast lane" here because the traffic will go through Google Cloud's internal network).
Setting up the Cloud SQL Proxy comes down to enabling the Cloud SQL API, giving the service account of your intance access to the Cloud SQL API, making sure the binary has execution permissions (chmod +x), and giving it the connection string to the Cloud SQL instance. You seem to be having issues using the Proxy, so if you need more troubleshooting ideas, you can find them in the documentation. The tutorial you've followed should have detailed instructions on how to do these steps.
After all of that and after making sure the Proxy is running, connecting Joomla to the database should be similar to how you do it via the MySQL client. You should point your Joomla installation to localhost (or 127.0.0.1), give it a set of credentials to access the database itself (you can create database users via the Console), give your Joomla database's name, and that should be it!
Don't forget that the Proxy needs to be running in TCP mode! That should be as simple as adding =tcp:LOCAL_PORT_TO_LISTEN_ON to the connection string parameter you're passing to the Proxy. Here's an example of how to run the Proxy:
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>=tcp:3306
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) helps to increase the performance.
Private Google access enables virtual machine (VM) instances on a subnetwork to reach Google APIs and Services using an internal IP address rather than an external IP address. You can use Private Google access to allow VMs without Internet access to reach Google services.
