Explanation in Terraform Registry

A source representation instance is a Cloud SQL instance that represents the source database server to the Cloud SQL replica. It is visible in the Cloud Console and appears the same as a regular Cloud SQL instance, but it contains no data, requires no configuration or maintenance, and does not affect billing. You cannot update the source representation instance.
