After following the tutorial Connecting [Postgres] from Kubernetes Engine, I was able to have my app server connect to my Postgres database thru a Cloud SQL Proxy and a service account that grants the "SQL Client", "SQL Editor" and "SQL Admin" permissions.
But, after following this tutorial a second time (to create a second database, for use from another cluster), and hence creating a second service account with the same permissions, I realised that I could only connect my second Cloud SQL database using my first service account!
Every time I tried to use the second service account (which, again, grants access to the exact same 3 permissions!), I was getting couldn't connect to "project:region:instance"
errors...
Context: I know that instance-based permissions are not supported by Cloud SQL yet, but I would like to have dedicated service accounts for each of my 2 databases if possible, and do not understand why a second service account with same permissions does not work.
