# Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL Source [Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL][csql-pg-docs] is a fully-managed database service that helps you set up, maintain, manage, and administer your PostgreSQL relational databases on Google Cloud Platform. If you are new to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, you can try [creating and connecting to a database by following these instructions][csql-pg-quickstart]. [csql-pg-docs]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres [csql-pg-quickstart]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-instance-local-computer ## Requirements ### IAM Identity By default, this source uses the [Cloud SQL Go Connector][csql-go-conn] to authorize and establish mTLS connections to your Cloud SQL instance. The Go connector uses your [Application Default Credentials (ADC)][adc] to authorize your connection to Cloud SQL. In addition to [setting the ADC for your server][set-adc], you need to ensure the IAM identity has been given the following IAM roles: - `roles/cloudsql.client` [csql-go-conn]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sql-go-connector [adc]: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#adc [set-adc]: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc ### Network Path Currently, Cloud SQL supports connection over both [private IP][private-ip] and [public IP][public-ip]. Set the `ipType` parameter in your source configuration to `public` or `private`. [private-ip]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/configure-private-ip [public-ip]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/configure-ip ### Database User Current, this source only uses standard authentication. You will need to [create a PostreSQL user][cloud-sql-users] to login to the database with. [cloud-sql-users]: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/create-manage-users ## Example ```yaml sources: my-cloud-sql-pg-source: kind: "cloud-sql-postgres" project: "my-project-id" region: "us-central1" instance: "my-instance" database: "my_db" user: "my-user" password: "my-password" ``` ## Reference | **field** | **type** | **required** | **description** | |-----------|:--------:|:------------:|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | kind | string | true | Must be "cloud-sql-postgres". | | project | string | true | Id of the GCP project that the cluster was created in (e.g. "my-project-id"). | | region | string | true | Name of the GCP region that the cluster was created in (e.g. "us-central1"). | | instance | string | true | Name of the Cloud SQL instance within the cluser (e.g. "my-instance"). | | ipType | string | true | IP Type of the Cloud SQL instance, must be either `public` or `private`. Default: `public`. | | database | string | true | Name of the Postgres database to connect to (e.g. "my_db"). | | user | string | true | Name of the Postgres user to connect as (e.g. "my-pg-user"). | | password | string | true | Password of the Postgres user (e.g. "my-password"). |
