What is my IP?

My usual approach is curl ifconfig.me. In the Connecting to Cloud SQL: Public IP and authorized networks codelab, I found this cool alternative:

dig @resolver1.opendns.com ANY myip.opendns.com +short -4

Managing Cloud SQL Instances

gcloud sql instances create sql-codelab-00 --database-version=POSTGRES_11 --tier=db-f1-micro --region=<REGION> --authorized-networks=<AUTHORIZED_IP> --root-password=<PASSWORD>

The public IP address of the instance will be printed once that command is successful. If you've created the Cloud SQL instance via the Web interface, you can use Connect to this instance once the instance has been created.
