Connecting Cloud SQL to GKE












1















I'm trying to connect my cloud SQL instance to my GKE cluster. Following the documentation I noticed that it requires alias IP addresses (using VPC native) for pods to connect to Cloud SQL via private IP. My cluster wasn't setup with this IP aliasing enabled, so it looks like I have to connect via Cloud SQL Proxy (as a sidecar).



Questions:




  1. Is this the only solution?

  2. Would creating a Cloud SQL Proxy deployment/service (as opposed to a sidecar) be detrimental to connections in a significant way?"


Notes:

The nodes in the cluster can actually connect to Cloud SQL via private IP, but apparently the VPC Peering doesn't extend into pods..? :sad_panda:
