Overview
Database Migration Service provides options for one-time and continuous jobs to migrate data to Cloud SQL using different connectivity options, including IP allowlists, VPC peering, and reverse SSH tunnels (see documentation on connectivity options at https://cloud.google.com/database-migration/docs/postgresql/configure-connectivity).
In this lab, you migrate a stand-alone PostgreSQL database (running on a virtual machine) to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL using a continuous Database Migration Service job and VPC peering for connectivity.
Migrating a database via Database Migration Service requires some preparation of the source database, including creating a dedicated user with replication rights, adding the pglogical
database extension to the source database and granting rights to the schemata and tables in the database to be migrated, as well as the postgres database, to that user.
After you create and run the migration job, you confirm that an initial copy of your database has been successfully migrated to your Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance. You also explore how continuous migration jobs apply data updates from your source database to your Cloud SQL instance. To conclude the migration job, you promote the Cloud SQL instance to be a stand-alone database for reading and writing data.
What you'll do
- Prepare the source database for migration.
- Create a profile for a source connection to a PostgreSQL instance (e.g., stand-alone PostgreSQL).
- Configure connectivity between the source and destination database instances using VPC peering.
- Configure firewall and database access rules to allow access to the source database for migration.
- Create, run, and verify a continuous migration job using Database Migration Service.
- Promote the destination instance (Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL) to be a stand-alone database for reading and writing data.
Setup and requirements
Before you click the Start Lab button
Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources will be made available to you.
This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities yourself in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials that you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.
To complete this lab, you need:
- Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).
- Time to complete the lab---remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.
How to start your lab and sign in to the Google Cloud console

This page will either show status information or give you the option to enable the API.
- If necessary, Enable the API.
Verify that the Service Networking API is enabled
The Service Networking API is required in order to be able to configure Cloud SQL to support VPC Peering and connections over a private ip-address.
- In the Cloud console, enter Service Networking API in the top search bar. Click on the result for Service Networking API.
This page will either show status information or give you the option to enable the API.
- If necessary, enable the API.
Task 1. Prepare the source database for migration
In this task you will add supporting features to the source database which are required in order for Database Migration Service to perform a migration. These are:
- Installing and configuring the pglogical database extension.
- Configuring the stand-alone PostgreSQL database to allow access from Cloud Shell and Cloud SQL.
- Adding the
pglogical
database extension to thepostgres
,orders
andgmemegen_db
databases on the stand-alone server. - Creating a
migration_admin
user (with Replication permissions) for database migration and granting the required permissions to schemata and relations to that user.
Upgrade the database with the pglogical extension
In this step you will download and add the pglogical
database extension to the orders and postgres databases on the postgresql-vm
VM Instance.
-
In the Google Cloud console, on the Navigation menu (), click Compute Engine > VM instances.
-
In the entry for
postgresql-vm
, underConnect
click SSH. -
If prompted, click Authorize.
-
In the terminal in the new browser window, install the
pglogical
database extension:
pglogical
is a logical replication system implemented entirely as a PostgreSQL extension. Fully integrated, it requires no triggers or external programs. This alternative to physical replication is a highly efficient method of replicating data using a publish/subscribe model for selective replication. Read more here: https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pglogical
- Download and apply some additions to the PostgreSQL configuration files (to enable pglogical extension) and restart the postgresql service:
In pg_hba.conf
these commands added a rule to allow access to all hosts:
In postgresql.conf
, these commands set the minimal configuration for pglogical to configure it to listen on all addresses:
The above code snippets were appended to the relevant files and the PostgreSQL service restarted.
- Launch the psql tool:
- Add the
pglogical
database extension to thepostgres
,orders
andgmemegen_db
databases.
- List the PostgreSQL databases on the server:
Here you can see, besides the default postgresql databases, the orders
and gmemegen_db
databases provided for this lab. You will not use the gmemegen_db
database in this lab, but will include it in the migration for use in a later lab.
Create the database migration user
In this step you will create a dedicated user for managing database migration.
- In psql, enter the commands below to create a new user with the replication role:
Assign permissions to the migration user
In this step you will assign the necessary permissions to the migration_admin
user to enable Database Migration Service to migrate your database.
- In psql, grant permissions to the
pglogical
schema and tables for thepostgres
database.
- In psql, grant permissions to the
pglogical
schema and tables for theorders
database.
- In psql, grant permissions to the
public
schema and tables for theorders
database.
- In psql, grant permissions to the
pglogical
schema and tables for thegmemegen_db
database.
- In psql, grant permissions to the
public
schema and tables for thegmemegen_db
database.
The source databases are now prepared for migration. The permissions you have granted to the migration_admin
user are all that is required for Database Migration Service to migrate the postgres
, orders
and gmemegen_db
databases.
Make the migration_admin
user the owner of the tables in the orders
database, so that you can edit the source data later, when you test the migration.
- In psql, run the following commands:
- Exit psql and the postgres user session
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
Task 2. Create a Database Migration Service connection profile for a stand-alone PostgreSQL database
In this task, you will create a connection profile for the PostgreSQL source instance.
Get the connectivity information for the PostgreSQL source instance
In this step, you identify the internal IP address of the source database instance that you will migrate to Cloud SQL.
-
In the Google Cloud Console, on the Navigation menu (), click Compute Engine > VM instances.
-
Locate the line with the instance called postgresql-vm.
-
Copy the value for Internal IP (e.g., 10.128.0.2).
Create a new connection profile for the PostgreSQL source instance
A connection profile stores information about the source database instance (e.g., stand-alone PostgreSQL) and is used by the Database Migration Service to migrate data from the source to your destination Cloud SQL database instance. After you create a connection profile, it can be reused across migration jobs.
In this step you will create a new connection profile for the PostgreSQL source instance.
-
In the Google Cloud Console, on the Navigation menu (), click Database Migration > Connection profiles.
-
Click + Create Profile.
-
For Database engine, select PostgreSQL.
-
For Connection profile name, enter postgres-vm.
-
For Hostname or IP address, enter the internal IP for the PostgreSQL source instance that you copied in the previous task (e.g., 10.128.0.2)
-
For Port, enter 5432.
-
For Username, enter migration_admin.
-
For Password, enter DMS_1s_cool! .
-
For Region select
. -
For all other values leave the defaults.
-
Click Create.
A new connection profile named postgres-vm will appear in the Connections profile list.
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
Task 3. Create and start a continuous migration job
When you create a new migration job, you first define the source database instance using a previously created connection profile. Then you create a new destination database instance and configure connectivity between the source and destination instances.
In this task, you use the migration job interface to create a new Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database instance and set it as the destination for the continuous migration job from the PostgreSQL source instance.
Create a new continuous migration job
In this step you will create a new continuous migration job.
-
In the Google Cloud Console, on the Navigation menu (), click Database Migration > Migration jobs.
-
Click + Create Migration Job.
-
For Migration job name, enter vm-to-cloudsql.
-
For Source database engine, select PostgreSQL.
-
For Destination region, select
. -
For Destination database engine, select Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.
-
For Migration job type, select Continuous.
Leave the defaults for the other settings.
- Click Save & Continue.
Define the source instance
In this step, you will define the source instance for the migration.
- For Source connection profile, select postgres-vm.
Leave the defaults for the other settings.
- Click Save & Continue.
Create the destination instance
In this step, you will create the destination instance for the migration.
-
For Destination Instance ID, enter postgresql-cloudsql.
-
For Password, enter supersecret!.
-
For Choose a Cloud SQL edition, select Enterprise edition.
-
For Database version, select Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL 13.
-
In Choose region and zone section, select Single zone and select
as primary zone. -
For Instance connectivity, select Private IP and Public IP.
-
Select Use an automatically allocated IP range.
Leave the defaults for the other settings.
- Click Allocate & Connect.
Note: This step may take a few minutes. If asked to retry the request, click the Retry button to refresh the Service Networking API.
When this step is complete, an updated message notifies you that the instance will use the existing managed service connection.
You will need to edit the pg_hba.conf file on the VM instance to allow access to the IP range that is automatically generated in point 5 of the previous step. You will do this in a later step before testing the migration configuration at the end of this task.
Enter the additional information needed to create the destination instance on Cloud SQL.
-
For Machine shapes. check 1 vCPU, 3.75 GB
-
For Storage type, select SSD
-
For Storage capacity, select 10 GB
-
Click Create & Continue.
If prompted to confirm, click Create Destination & Continue. A message will state that your destination database instance is being created. Continue to the next step while you wait.
Define the connectivity method
In this step, you will define the connectivity method for the migration.
-
For Connectivity method, select VPC peering.
-
For VPC, select default.
VPC peering is configured by Database Migration Service using the information provided for the VPC network (the default network in this example).
When you see an updated message that the destination instance was created, proceed to the next step.
- Click Configure & Continue.
Allow access to the postgresql-vm instance from automatically allocated IP range
In this step you will edit the pg_hba.conf
PostgreSQL configuration file to allow the Database Migration Service to access the stand-alone PostgreSQL database.
-
Get the allocated IP address range. In the Google Cloud Console on the Navigation menu (), right-click VPC network > VPC network peering and open it in a new tab.
-
Click on the
servicenetworking-googleapis-com
entry and then click on Effective Routes View at the bottom. -
From the dropdown for Network select default and for Region select
. Click View. -
In the Destination IP range coloum ,copy the
IP range
(e.g. 10.107.176.0/24) next to peering-route-xxxxx... route. -
In the Terminal session on the VM instance, edit the
pg_hba.conf
file as follows:
- On the last line of the file:
replace the "all IP addresses" range (0.0.0.0/0) with the range copied in point 3 above.
-
Save and exit the nano editor with Ctrl-O, Enter, Ctrl-X
-
Restart the PostgreSQL service to make the changes take effect. In the VM instance Terminal session:
Test and start the continuous migration job
In this step, you will test and start the migration job.
-
In the Database Migration Service tab you open earlier, review the details of the migration job.
-
Click Test Job.
-
After a successful test, click Create & Start Job.
If prompted to confirm, click Create & Start.
Review the status of the continuous migration job
In this step, you will confirm that the continuous migration job is running.
-
In the Google Cloud Console, on the Navigation menu (), click Database Migration > Migration jobs.
-
Click the migration job vm-to-cloudsql to see the details page.
-
Review the migration job status.
- If you have not started the job, the status will show as Not started. You can choose to start or delete the job.
- After the job has started, the status will show as Starting and then transition to Running Full dump in progress to indicate that the initial database dump is in progress.
- After the initial database dump has been completed, the status will transition to Running CDC in progress to indicate that continuous migration is active.
When the job status changes to Running CDC in progress, proceed to the next task.
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
