Lab Intro: Cloud SQL

1. Lab Intro: Cloud SQL

Let's take some of the Cloud SQL concepts that we just discussed, and apply them in a lab. In this lab, you configure a Cloud SQL Server and learn how to connect an application to it via a proxy over an external connection. You also configure a connection over a private IP link that offers performance and security benefits. The app we chose to demonstrate in this lab is WordPress, but the information and best practices are applicable to any application that needs a SQL Server. By the end of this lab, you will have two working instances of a WordPress front end connected over two different connection types to its SQL instance back end, as shown in this diagram.
