It now takes less time to create a Cloud SQL instance when point-in-time recovery (PITR) is enabled, as it is by default in the Google Cloud console. During instance creation, PITR now initially uses an instant snapshot instead of a standard backup. and then later converts the snapshot to a standard backup in the background to support restore operations.
