Fabric Shortcut to GCP MySQL DB instance

I would like to avoid importing all the data from a Google Cloud hosted MySQL DB instance into Fabric.  Is a Shortcut an option?  If no - what would be my best approach to exposing that DB content ...

    Hi DamonY there is no supported shortcut functonality from Fabric to MySQL (MySQL in any cloud vendor).  And there's no database mirroring supported either.  So you'd either need to connect from Fabric to the MySQL instance on GCP and load the data in using pipelines or notebooks (and you hopefully have some watermark to identify changed data to do incremenatals after a first full load) or you could export the data from MySQL to GCP storage and then shortcut to the GCP storage from Fabric.  Perhaps GCP Dataflow has functionality to export data from MySQL to Parquet or Delta format
