New I AM Service Account

For Scheduler to successfully run shutdown operation, it needs to be associated with associated with a service account with proper roles. So let’s create a new service account.

• Navigate to I am and then click on service account. You’re screen might look like this.

• now let’s put some name and description. I normally put service at the start of the name, but it’s not necessary.
• After this, we need to associate proper role to this account. For this we are going to choose Clod SQL Admin

• For this purpose we don’t need to associate any user to this service account.

New Scheduler

• Navigate to scheduler and click on create job . And fill the name, description, frequency and Timezone.
  

• For this choose Target Type as HTTP. Your url should be as mentioned below.
  URL: https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/instances/instance-id
  Method: Patch
  Auth Header: Add OAuth Token
  Service Account: service-mange-cloud-sql (one we created in above step, if your name is different please choose that)
  Body:

{
  "settings": {
    "activationPolicy": "NEVER"
  }
}

• In the next step you can configure retry, I am keeping it default for simplicity.

• one successfully created you should be able to see your job on scheduler home page. Here you can test your job as well.
