Description
MySQL database instances have the option for NOT having a password for the administrative/root user. This is not recommended; a password should be set to ensure that only authorized users have administrative privileges.
How to fix?
Set the name attribute to a username and the password attribute to a strong password.
Example Configuration
resource "google_sql_user" "non_admin" {
instance = google_sql_database_instance.no_default_admin.name
name = "yourusernamegoeshere"
password = "yoursuperstrongpasswordgoeshere"
host = "example.com"
}
