GCP: Cloud SQL faster DR failover and Z4D storage-optimized instances GA
- Platform/SRE — Plan: Cloud SQL (MySQL and PostgreSQL) now auto-enables PITR after DR switchover/failover asynchronously, reducing RTO — review your DR runbooks to reflect the faster recovery path. The GA Z4D machine series (AMD EPYC Turin, up to 3 TB local storage) is worth evaluating this quarter for storage-heavy workloads like databases, search, or vector stores.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: The Z4D GA instances and Cloud SQL PITR improvements are worth noting for teams standardizing on GCP for storage-heavy or analytics workloads, but neither forces a strategic decision or pricing change now.
- Signals: GA announcement
