Cloud SQL for MySQLYou can now configure server certificate authority (CA) mode when you create a Cloud SQL instance. With server CA mode, you have two options:
- Per-instance CA: this is the default configuration. With this option, an internal CA dedicated to each Cloud SQL instance signs the server certificate for that instance.
- Shared CA: with this option, the Cloud SQL instance uses a CA hierarchy consisting of a root CA and subordinate server CAs managed by Cloud SQL and hosted on Google Cloud Certificate Authority Service (CA Service). The subordinate server CAs in a region sign the server certificates and are shared across instances in the region. This option can be used only with MySQL 8.0.30 and later.
For more information about each option, see Certificate authority (CA) hierarchies. This feature is in Preview.
The pg_ivm
extension, version 1.9, is generally available. This extension enables you to make materialized views up-to-date in which only incremental changes are computed and applied on views rather than recomputing the contents from scratch.

extension. This extension extends PostGIS and enhances geospatial processing through network routing and analysis.
For more information on these extensions, see Configure PostgreSQL extensions.

Cloud SQL for MySQLCloud SQL for MySQL 8.4 is now generally available. For more information about the differences between MySQL 8.4 and MySQL 8.0, review What Is New in MySQL 8.4 since MySQL 8.0.
By default, if you specify MySQL 8.4 as the version when you create a Cloud SQL instance (either primary or replica) using the gcloud CLI or the REST API, then the Cloud SQL edition is Enterprise Plus.
If you specify a version other than MySQL 8.4 or don't specify a version, then the default Cloud SQL edition of the instance is Enterprise.
For more information about the implementation of MySQL 8.4 in Cloud SQL, see the following topics:
- MySQL 8.4 authentication plugin default
- MySQL features unsupported for Cloud SQL
- MySQL 8.4 user privileges (cloudsqlsuperuser)
To create a MySQL 8.4 instance in Cloud SQL, see Create instances. Before you upgrade to MySQL 8.4, you must first upgrade to MySQL 8.0.37 or later.
