        Whole number value indicating how many cores are desired in the
        machine. Both --cpu and --memory must be specified if a custom machine
        type is desired, and the --tier flag must be omitted.--cpu and --memory
        flags are not compatible with the Enterprise Plus edition. These flags
        should not be used when creating an Enterprise Plus edition, as the
        machine configuration is determined by the --tier flag instead.

     --custom-subject-alternative-names=DNS,[DNS,[DNS]]

        certificate. A custom SAN is a structured way to add additional DNS
        names (host names) that are not managed by Cloud SQL to an instance. It
        allows for hostname verification during establishment of a database
        connection using the DNS name over SSL/TLS. When you create and/or
        update an instance, you can add a comma-separated list of up to three
        DNS names to the server certificate of your instance.

     --database-flags=FLAG=VALUE,[FLAG=VALUE,...]
        Comma-separated list of database flags to set on the instance. Use an
        equals sign to separate flag name and value. Flags without values, like
        skip_grant_tables, can be written out without a value after, e.g.,
        skip_grant_tables=. Use on/off for booleans. View the Instance Resource
        API for allowed flags. (e.g., --database-flags
        max_allowed_packet=55555,skip_grant_tables=,log_output=1)

     --database-version=DATABASE_VERSION; default="MYSQL_8_0"
        The database engine type and versions. If left unspecified, MYSQL_8_0
        is used. See the list of database versions at

        project is represented by a project number (numeric) or by a project ID
        (alphanumeric). This allows Private Service Connect connections to be
        created automatically for the specified networks. For example, this
        connection uses "the form
        psc-auto-connections=network=projects/testproject1/global/networks/testnetwork1"
        or "the form
        psc-auto-connections=project=testproject1,network=projects/testproject1/global/networks/testnetwork1".
