[google-cloud-sql-discuss] Eliminating SSL overhead by using a Google VM to connect to CloudSQL

I remember reading that all traffic between endpoints within the Google ecosystem are encrypted - is that accurate?  Would that mean that I could turn off SSL for MYSQL connections from a Google hosted VM and my Google CloudSQL instance since the traffic would be encrypted anyway?  That would be a pretty big performance boost for my legacy app where the SSL negotiation slows down each request by ~0.5 seconds and requires extra resources that could be devoted to serving more traffic.

Thanks,

-Kurt
