Cloud SQL supports in-place upgrades and downgrades to your instance's infrastructure.

Cloud SQL supports in-place upgrades and downgrades to your instance's infrastructure. You can change all of the following in place:

• The edition that your Cloud SQL instance uses. • The machine type. • The storage type. • The database version.

Making in-place changes is the most direct and least error-prone way to reconfigure an instance.

For more information about in-place upgrades and downgrades, see Upgrade in place.
