Adding an Instance for Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

To manage a database, you can either use an existing instance or add a new instance.

Before You Begin

To discover database instances, enable the Cloud SQL Admin and Cloud Resource Manager APIs in the project where service account is hosted.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

2. On the Overview page, from the Add instance list, select Cloud database service.

3. On the Add Cloud DB instance page, select Google Cloud Platform, and then click Next.

4. On the Configure Google Cloud database page, select PostgreSQL, and then click Next.

   The Configure Google Cloud database - PostgreSQL page appears. For further configuration, see Configure database server running on cloud.

Results

• The new instance contains a dump-based backup set and a default subclient.

• When you add an instance, a default database group is automatically created. The default database group includes all the data in the PostgreSQL database. You cannot delete the default database group.
