I have been using an instance of google Cloud SQL with several App Engine Applications for a while, and today I noticed the following announcement "You have not authorized any App Engine Applications and you do not have an IP Address assigned to your Cloud SQL instance. You will no be able to connect to your database in any way." But that's no true, actually it's running properly with the apps. Anyone has the same announcement in the Access Control or Google is having an issue? Or I should change the settings?
This is a bug, and we're currently working on a fix.

I'm trying to use spanner emulator and I followed the instructions reported here:
https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/emulator
to set it up.
I can use gcloud shell commands to create instance, database, tables, etc. and all works correctly.
But I am not able to use the Rest API directly to access the emulator, even though the google documentation reports it is possible not only to use google client libs to access the emulator, but also the rest api.
The first problem is that it is not clear if I have to use either the base URL
https://spanner.googleapis.com/
or
http://localhost:9020/
When I try with
http://localhost:9020/v1/parent=projects/local-project/instanceConfigs
I always returns and "Not found" message, which means the the Rest API ws are responding, but through gcloud commands I can manage such instance and project!
What am I wrong with?!
According to the official documentation :
Using the Cloud Spanner
Emulator
"The Cloud SDK provides a local, in-memory emulator, which you can
use to develop and test your applications for free without creating a
GCP Project or a billing account."
Therefore you should use the localhost (localhost:9020 for REST requests).
You should use http://localhost:9020 to access the emulator if you want to manually access the REST API, so you were on the right track there.
The URL should however be http://localhost:9020/v1/projects/test-project/instanceConfigs to list all instance configurations on the emulator. Use http://localhost:9020/v1/projects/test-project/instances to list all instances.
I'm new to working with back-end, but have been running into issues trying to get my iOS app to connect to my PostgreSQL DB.
I have developed an app with Swift which is a game that I want to run locally on iOS devices. I have a PostgreSQL DB set up in Google Cloud Platform but I cannot figure out how to get the Swift app to connect to my PostgreSQL DB.
I've read some about using Vapor or Perfect to run the application using Googles App Engine but I'm not sure that is what I want to do since I want the app to run locally but there are a few aspects of my app that I need a global database for.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of how I need to connect my Swift application with Google Cloud's PostgreSQL?
Your question is pretty much very similar to this one.
In short, the correct answer is you shouldn't connect your client side application directly to the database. Instead, you should build a service that can connect to the database, and act as a service between your application. This helps prevent any unauthorized queries to your database and provides better performance. If you wanted to do this on GCP, you could look into something like Google Cloud Functions or Google Cloud App Engine to act as a service.
An alternative would be to use a "Database-as-a-Service" like Cloud Firestore. This is a scalable, pay-as-you-go service with great mobile support.
Yeah sure you need a server, ruby on rails to connect to your Postgres database.
The server will facilitate data back and forth from the Google cloud Postgressql
I am trying to create an application in IBM Internet of Things Platform Starter and getting following message:
BXNUI0005E: The 'xxxxxx' app wasn't created because a problem occurred contacting Cloud Foundry.
Try again later. If you see this message again, go to the IBM Cloud status page to check whether a service or component has an issue. If the problem continues, go to IBM Cloud Support.
I've had exactly the same problem. It's usually because you've gone over the limit of app / database instances for your account.
In my case, I was using NodeRed. I created one instance successfully, deleted it, but then couldn't create another. It turned out that the first app had created an empty database instance and the second one was trying to do the same. Deleting the database from my dashboard resolved the problem.
We are using a MariaDB and a MongoDB (single instance) service in the Swisscom App Cloud.
If i try to create a backup with the backup button, it starts to create one, but fails after a few minutes.
Also, if i try to delete the failed entry, the deletion fails as well.
The interface provides no further information about the reason.
This happens for MariaDB as well as for MongoDB.
What could be a possible reason and how am I able to debug this error? Where can I get further information about the error?

Simon here from the App Cloud Team.
There was an issue in the backend which we fixed this morning, so your backups should now work again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I developed a CF CLI plugin for DB backups (MariaDB) in Cloud Foundry, called "cf-mariadb-backup-plugin", that also works in the Swisscom App Cloud. Check it out here, and give it a star. ;-)
If you use such plugin it presents the error message catch directly from the Cloud Foundry API. This might provide you, at least, better reasons on why such actions are failing.
I have an old GAE application (in production since 2011) that use Cloud Storage service since it is available in beta. I have not touched this apps for almost 1 year now.
I have to do some administrative task and want to create new buckets in Cloud Storage.
I have activated
- the application in Google Cloud Console
- the billing for this application in Google Cloud Console
I see the Google Cloud Storage tab, when I click on it it is empty, and when I try to create a new bucket I see the error message:
The account for the specified project has been disabled.
How can I fix that?
Why I do not see my existing bucket? (created long time ago using the old Web interface)
Thanks!
This can happen when the Cloud Storage service isn't turned on for your project. Do the following:
Visit http://cloud.google.com/console
Select your project
Visit the APIs & Auth tab
Find Google Cloud Storage in the list of services
Turn on Google Cloud Storage
I was facing the same issue .While every API was enabled after deep diving i realized there is some problem relating to my billing.
