Cloning option isn't available for MySQL 1st Gen 5.5

[Vishal S. Patel]

Hi Team,

We are not able to clone our cloud instance. Though we have configured the all required settings as shown below,

     We are not able to see the clone option as shown in the following image,

Please correct me if I am missing anything here. I do have owner rights with me.

Thanks,

Vishal

Hi Vishal,

Past January 30th of this year, second generation Cloud SQL has replaced the first generation, and past that date, first generation Instances will no longer be able to be created, which is why you cannot `Clone` the Instance.
You could upgrade to the second generation, if that is something that will work for you, by following this documentation[1]. Cloning Instances is now only available for second generation Instances.
