Cloud SQL read pools are now generally available and provide operational simplicity and scaling for your read workloads

## Feature Cloud SQL read pools are now generally available and provide operational simplicity and scaling for your read workloads. Read pools provide a single endpoint in front of up to 20 read pool nodes and automatically load balance traffic. You can scale your read pool in several ways: * **Scale in or out**: scale load balancing capacity horizontally by modifying the number of read pool nodes in the read pool. Each read pool supports up to 20 read pool nodes. * **Scale up or down**: scale load balancing capacity vertically by modifying the machine type associated with a read pool node. Once defined, configuration is uniformly applied across each read pool node in the read pool. For more information, see[About read pools](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/about-read-pools). ## Feature You can have Cloud SQL create a [Private Service Connect](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/about-private-service-connect#psc-endpoint) endpoint automatically. You can use this endpoint to access Cloud SQL instances through a VPC network. For more information, see [Create a Private Service Connect endpoint automatically](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/configure-private-service-connect#create-endpoint-automatically). This feature is now generally available ([GA](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages)).
