+
+Use the `google_sql_database_instance` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single GCP Cloud SQL Database instance.
+
+<br>
+
+## Syntax
+
+A `google_sql_database_instance` resource block declares the tests for a single CP Cloud SQL Database instance by project and name.
+
+    describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  database: 'my-database') do
+      it { should exist }
+    end
+

+
+## Examples
+
+The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
+
+
+### Test that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance is in the expected state
+
+    describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  database: 'my-database') do

+### Confirm that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance is running in the desired region and zone 
+
+    describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'spaterson-project',  database: 'gcp-inspec-db-instance') do
+      its('gce_zone') { should eq "europe-west2-a" }

+
+## Properties
+
+*  `backend_type`, `connection_name`, `database_version`, `etag`, `gce_zone`, `instance_type`, `ip_addresses`, `kind`, `name`, `project`, `region`, `server_ca_cert`, `service_account_email_address`, `settings`, `state`

+    end
+    
+<br>
+
+## Filter Criteria
+
+This resource supports the following filter criteria:  `instance_name`; `instance_region`; `instance_zone` and `instance_state`. Any of these may be used with `where`, as a block or as a method.
+
+## Properties
+
+*  `instance_names` - an array of google_sql_database_instance name strings
+*  `instance_regions`- an array of google_compute_region name strings
+*  `instance_zones`- an array of google_sql_database_instance name strings
+*  `instance_states`- an array of google_sql_database_instance state strings
+
+<br>
+
+
+## GCP Permissions
+
+Ensure the [Compute Engine API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/compute.googleapis.com/) is enabled for the project where the resource is located.
