Provision a Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instance

Create a Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instance using the Google Cloud Console or gcloud.

The exact provisioning workflow largely follows Google’s documentation, but Puppet Enterprise requires several specific constraints.

Setting	Requirement

Instance type	For all installation types, use the PE‑PostgreSQL node requirements from the extra‑large hardware requirements section. See Hardware requirements.
Memory	For all installation types, use the PE‑PostgreSQL node requirements from the extra‑large hardware requirements section.  See Hardware requirements.
Storage	For all installation types, use the PE‑PostgreSQL node requirements from the extra‑large hardware requirements section. See Hardware requirements.
Connectivity	Public IP or private connection reachable from the PE primary.
