# Using Google Cloud for MySQL as a source for AWS DMS
<a name="CHAP_Source.GC"></a>

With AWS DMS, you can use Google Cloud for MySQL as a source in much the same way as you do MySQL. 

For information about versions of GCP MySQL that AWS DMS supports as a source, see [Sources for AWS DMS](CHAP_Introduction.Sources.md). 

For more information, see [Using a MySQL-compatible database as a source for AWS DMS](CHAP_Source.MySQL.md).

**Note**  
Support for GCP MySQL 8.0 as a source is available in AWS DMS version 3.4.6.  
AWS DMS doesn't support the SSL mode `verify-full` for GCP for MySQL instances.  
The GCP MySQL security setting `Allow only SSL connections` isn't supported, because it requires both server and client certificate verification. AWS DMS only supports server certificate verification.  
AWS DMS supports the default GCP CloudSQL for MySQL value of `CRC32` for the `binlog_checksum` database flag.
