Google Cloud Professional Cloud Database Engineer — Question 8

You are troubleshooting a connection issue with a newly deployed Cloud SQL instance on Google Cloud. While investigating the Cloud SQL Proxy logs, you see the message Error 403: Access Not Configured. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Check the app.yaml value cloud_sql_instances for a misspelled or incorrect instance connection name.
• B. Check whether your service account has cloudsql.instances.connect permission.
• C. Enable the Cloud SQL Admin API.
• D. Ensure that you are using an external (public) IP address interface.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as enabling the Cloud SQL Admin API is essential for accessing Cloud SQL resources. Options A and B are related to configuration and permissions but do not address the specific issue indicated by the error message. Option D is irrelevant since the error pertains to API access, not the type of IP address used.
