Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: returning the number one
statement: SELECT 1;
---
kind: toolsets
name: example_toolset
tools:
- example_tool
```

cloud-sql-clone-instance docs 10 Clone a Cloud SQL instance.

The cloud-sql-clone-instance tool clones a Cloud SQL instance using the Cloud SQL Admin API.

{{< notice info dd>}} This tool uses a source of type cloud-sql-admin. {{< /notice >}}

Examples

Basic clone (current state)

kind: tools
name: clone-instance-basic
type: cloud-sql-clone-instance
source: cloud-sql-admin-source
description: "Creates an exact copy of a Cloud SQL instance. Supports configuring instance zones and high-availability setup through zone preferences."

Point-in-time recovery (PITR) clone

kind: tools
name: clone-instance-pitr
type: cloud-sql-clone-instance
source: cloud-sql-admin-source
description: "Creates an exact copy of a Cloud SQL instance at a specific point in time (PITR). Supports configuring instance zones and high-availability setup through zone preferences"

Reference

Tool Configuration

field type required description
type string true Must be "cloud-sql-clone-instance".
source string true The name of the cloud-sql-admin source to use.
description string false A description of the tool.

Tool Inputs

parameter type required description
project string true The project ID.
sourceInstanceName string true The name of the source instance to clone.
destinationInstanceName string true The name of the new (cloned) instance.
pointInTime string false (Optional) The point in time for a PITR (Point-In-Time Recovery) clone.
preferredZone string false (Optional) The preferred zone for the cloned instance. If not specified, defaults to the source instance's zone.
preferredSecondaryZone string false (Optional) The preferred secondary zone for the cloned instance (for HA).

Usage Notes

  • The tool supports both basic clone and point-in-time recovery (PITR) clone operations.
  • For PITR, specify the pointInTime parameter in RFC3339 format (e.g., 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z).
  • The source must be a valid Cloud SQL Admin API source.
  • You can optionally specify the zone parameter to set the zone for the cloned instance. If omitted, the zone of the source instance will be used.
  • You can optionally specify the preferredZone and preferredSecondaryZone (only in REGIONAL instances) to set the preferred zones for the cloned instance. These are useful for high availability (HA) configurations. If omitted, defaults will be used based on the source instance.
