`google_vacuum_mgmt` Extension Blocking PostgreSQL Migration to Azure

[adishm]

Hi team,

We’re attempting to migrate our Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database to Azure using Azure Database Migration Service (DMS).

However, the migration is blocked due to the presence of the `google_vacuum_mgmt` extension, which:
- Is owned by the internal user `cloudsqladmin`
- Cannot be dropped or transferred
- Is not supported on the target (Azure PostgreSQL)

This extension was not manually installed on our end and appears to be auto-created by Cloud SQL.

Can you advise on how to safely proceed with migration or remove this blocker?

I found the same issue faced by another user and was able set the google_vacuum_mgmt flag to false by disabling Gemini for their project.
