Can I create cloud SQL MySQL instance from Android Application

Question

I want a new Cloud SQL instance for each user. Is it possible to create a new Cloud SQL instance via an http request or any other means. Right now I am creating it using Google Cloud Platform console.

Answer 1

There is a better call available for the Cloud SQL API which is insert that basically creates a new instance.

You will probably also want to update the root password and get the IPv4 address of the instance. Instructions on creating a Cloud SQL instance can be found here . Go to the CURL(2ND GEN/1ST GEN) section so that you could see what kind of information you need to include in the POST request that you can send from your Android application.

Answer 2

The Cloud SQL API has a clone call which will make a new instance that is a clone of an existing instance.

See https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances/clone
