Terraform-provider-google: 503 error on creating several CloudSQL databases (fails after third was actually created)

[hashibot]

_This issue was originally opened by @Blasterdick as hashicorp/terraform#5231. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below._

---

.tf for a CloudSQL instance and it's databases:

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "default" {
    region = "europe-west1"
    database_version = "MYSQL_5_5"
    settings {
        tier = "D1"
        activation_policy = "ON_DEMAND"
        authorized_gae_applications = []
        pricing_plan = "PER_USE"
        replication_type = "SYNCHRONOUS"

        backup_configuration {
            binary_log_enabled = true
            enabled = true
            start_time = "18:00"
        }   

        ip_configuration {
            ipv4_enabled = true
            authorized_networks {
                name = "office_network"
                value = "123.456.789.000"
            }   
        }   

        location_preference {
            zone = "europe-west1-b"
        } 
    }   
}   

resource "google_sql_database" "db-temp-test1" {
    name = "db-temp-test1"
    instance = "${google_sql_database_instance.default.name}"
}

resource "google_sql_database" "db-temp-test2" {
    name = "db-temp-test2"
    instance = "${google_sql_database_instance.default.name}"
}

resource "google_sql_database" "db-temp-test3" {
    name = "db-temp-test3"
    instance = "${google_sql_database_instance.default.name}"
}

Good news! No repro, so it must have been fixed at some point. Likely an upstream fix, if I understand the issue correctly.

We're still seeing this issue, with provider version 1.7.0:

google_sql_database.routing: Still creating... (30s elapsed)

Error: Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_database.routing: 1 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_database.routing: Error reading SQL Database "routing" in instance "terraforming-gcp-env-rkr6sqohpgi": googleapi: Error 503: Service temporarily unavailable., serverException

I'm having the same error today when creating user on a newly created database:

Error: Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_user.database_user: 1 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_user.database_user: Error reading SQL User "postgres" in instance "gcp-postgresql-core-test-database": googleapi: Error 503: Service temporarily unavailable., server
Exception

[rosbo]

We added retry logic on 503 errors in #1212. The next release should fix the problem your are experiencing.

we're still experiencing this issue:

Error: Error refreshing state: 7 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_database.foo: 1 error(s) occurred:

* google_sql_database.foo: google_sql_database.foo: Error reading SQL Database "bar" in instance "foo": googleapi: Error 503: Service temporarily unavailable., serverException

$ terraform -v
Terraform v0.11.7
+ provider.aws v1.14.1
+ provider.cloudflare v1.0.0
+ provider.google v1.10.0
+ provider.kubernetes v1.1.0
+ provider.template v1.0.0

[ndmckinley]

Ah, shoot, that makes sense if the servers take a really long time to recover. We are retrying, but only until a timeout. Right now it's either 3 minutes or 1 minute, depending on where in the process the read errors come - I'll send a PR to bump them both to 5 minutes, and fingers crossed, that should do it.

[ndmckinley]

I hope that the higher timeouts will be the end of it - if you see more problems after the next release, please comment again.

I'm currently receiving the following error when attempting to run terraform plan

module.database.google_sql_user.mgmt_user: google_sql_user.mgmt_user: Error reading SQL User "mgmt_user" in instance "master-instance": googleapi: Error 503: Service temporarily unavailable. This is most likely a transient error. Please retry., transientError

[ndmckinley]

@baudday Although that's also a 503, it's a different 503 - transientError instead of serverException. Can you open a new issue, including with debug logs?
