The Cloud SQL Python Connector library is a library for MySQL/Postgres Python drivers that allows users with sufficient permissions to connect to a Cloud SQL database without having to manually whitelist IPs or manage SSL certificates.
This library uses the Application Default Credentials to authenticate the connection to the Cloud SQL server. For more details, see the previously mentioned link.
To activate credentials locally, use the following gcloud command:
gcloud auth application-default login
