Tool Inputs

parametertyperequireddescription
projectstringtrueThe project ID.
sourceInstanceNamestringtrueThe name of the source instance to clone.
destinationInstanceNamestringtrueThe name of the new (cloned) instance.
pointInTimestringfalse(Optional) The point in time for a PITR (Point-In-Time Recovery) clone.

Advanced Usage

  • 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.
