You created a brand-new Google Cloud project and immediately attempted to run the command gcloud sql instances create prod-db. The command fails with the message "Cloud SQL Admin API has not been used in project X before or it is disabled." What single action will allow you to rerun the command successfully without modifying IAM roles or quotas?
Enable the Cloud SQL Admin API once at the organization level so it is inherited by all projects.
Add the Cloud SQL Admin predefined role to your user account so the command has sufficient permissions.
Enable the Cloud SQL Admin API for the project in the Google Cloud console or with gcloud services enable sqladmin.googleapis.com.
Request an increase for the "Cloud SQL instances" quota in the project.
Cloud SQL relies on the Cloud SQL Admin API. Like most Google Cloud services, this API is disabled in a new project until it is explicitly turned on. Enabling the API at the project level registers the service with Service Usage and allows subsequent gcloud, Terraform, or console operations to succeed. Granting additional roles, changing regions, or requesting quota does not resolve the error because the service remains unavailable until its API is enabled.
