Cloud sql maintenance alerts

[ntt-darshan]

Recently cloud sql instance did some maintenance and the DB was down for 30 seconds

there was no alert for same. How can we get notified before such maintenance in future?

Hello @ntt-darshan 

You can enable SQL Maintenance window notification directly at Google Cloud console. https://console.cloud.google.com/user-preferences/cloud-profile

Unfortunately "Notifications are sent to the email address associated with your Google account. It's not possible to configure a custom email alias (for instance, a team email alias)."
