Cloud SQL enables automatic storage increases feature

Product: CloudSQL
Rule class: BP_EXT - (Extended) Best practice, opinionated recommendation

Description

Configure storage to accommodate critical database maintennance by enabling the automatic storage increases feature. Otherwise, ensure that you have at least 20% available space to accommodate any critical database maintenance operations that Cloud SQL may perform. Keep in mind that when an instance becomes unable to add storage that it needs, the instance likely stops accepting incoming connections and could go offline.

Remediation

You can set the automatic storage increases option when you create an instance. Additionally, you can set this option on an existing instance.
