  To protect your environment from security vulnerabilities, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest Cloud Composer version: composer-1.7.0-airflow.-1.x.y. Because Airflow 1.10.0 is no longer supported, also consider upgrading to Airflow 1.10.1.

• Added back the ping command-line utility to the default Cloud Composer managed Docker images.
• Backported AIRFLOW-2715 AIRFLOW-2715 to fix the DataflowTemplateOperator region support issue. Available only in Airflow 1.10.2 versions and later.
• Fixed an issue that prevented in-place upgrades when the environment service account had only the roles/composer.worker role.
• Backported fixes for CVE-2019-0216 and CVE-2019-0229.
• Fixed an issue that caused some environment deletion operations to fail.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Cloud Composer workloads to leak into the node pools added for KubernetesPodOperator workloads.
• Fixed an issue in which the airflow_db connection did not work correctly for some environments.
• Fixed an issue that prevented upgrading a Private IP Cloud Composer environment.

Stackdriver metrics for Cloud Composer is in beta. You can now use Stackdriver Monitoring to understand the performance and health of your Cloud Composer environments and examine Airflow metrics. Stackdriver is available for composer-1.6.0-airflow-1.9.0 and later versions.

New versions of Cloud Composer images: composer-1.6.1-airflow-1.9.0, composer-1.6.1-airflow-1.10.0, and composer-1.6.1-airflow-1.10.1. The default is composer-1.6.1-airflow-1.9.0. Upgrade your Cloud SDK to use features in this release.

Stackdriver Monitoring: In rare cases, a TRANSIENT_FAILURE connection error occurs when Cloud Composer writes metrics to Stackdriver Monitoring. Typically, the automatic retry is successful, but occasionally, the failure state persists for an extended period of time.

April 03, 2019

• Private IP Cloud Composer environment is in beta. To isolate your workflows from the public internet, you can now assign only private IP (RFC 1918) addresses to the managed Google Kubernetes Engine and Cloud SQL VMs in your Cloud Composer environment.
• Image version upgrade is in beta. You can now perform an in-place upgrade on the Airflow version or Cloud Composer version that your environment runs.

New versions of Cloud Composer images: composer-1.6.0-airflow-1.9.0, composer-1.6.0-airflow-1.10.0, and composer-1.6.0-airflow-1.10.1. The default is composer-1.6.0-airflow-1.9.0. Upgrade your Cloud SDK to use features in this release.

Increased the operation timeout from 20 to 30 minutes to fix the sporadic, premature PyPI dependency update timeout issue.

• Currently, you cannot perform an image version upgrade.
• Currently, you cannot simultaneously create or delete two Cloud Composer environments on the same subnetwork if one of the two environments is a Private IP Cloud Composer environment.
  • You must wait until the first Cloud Composer environment is created before creating the second environment to avoid environment creation failures.
  • You must wait until the first Cloud Composer environment is deleted before deleting the second environment to avoid a GKE cluster resource leak. If the leak occurs, manually delete the GKE cluster for the Cloud Composer environment.

airflow_db connection: The airflow_db connection works only for the Airflow webserver. Workarounds are as follows:

• Update the airflow_db connection's Host component to airflow-sqlproxy-service.default. This update breaks the ability to use the connection in the Airflow webserver's Ad Hoc Query page but is preferred for DAGs that rely on the airflow_db connection.
• Create a new connection that mirrors the airflow_db connection but uses airflow-sqlproxy-service.default for the Host.

New versions of Cloud Composer images: composer-1.4.2-airflow-1.9.0 and composer-1.4.2-airflow-1.10.0.

• Fixed the issue where max_active_runs and concurrency are not updated in the Airflow web UI DAG Details page when configurations are updated.
• Fixed the failed KubernetesPodOperator and GkePodOperator when a task a runs longer than 1 hour due to authentication issues in the Kuberentes client.

• New versions of Cloud Composer images: composer-1.5.2-airflow-1.9.0, composer-1.5.2-airflow-1.10.0, and composer-1.5.2-airflow-1.10.1. The default is composer-1.5.2-airflow-1.9.0.
• For the Cloud SQL instance for Cloud Composer, the wait_timeout and interactive_timeout are reduced to 1800 seconds to enable a faster deadlock recovery if an idle SQL connection holds a database lock.
• Added back the openssh-client package to the default Cloud Composer managed docker images.

• Backported the Apache Airflow fix for the SubDag failed by scheduler deadlock issue.
• Fixed an issue where a DAG backfill could not be disabled on a per-DAG basis.

March 07, 2019

Note: This release has been rolled back. If you created an environment with composer-1.5.1-airflow-*, you can retrieve and delete the environment, but not update. We recommend that you delete the environment and create a new environment with the latest image version. Refer to the March 11, 2019, release note for the rollout dates and default version.

You can now access the Airflow web interface logs in Stackdriver Logging for Cloud Composer under airflow-webserver.

• New versions of Cloud Composer images: composer-1.5.0-airflow-1.9.0, composer-1.5.0-airflow-1.10.0, and composer-1.5.0-airflow-1.10.1
• Increased the disk size for the Apache Airflow webserver from 10 to 20 GB.

• We now install Airflow dependencies of "mysql" instead of "devel".

  If your DAG uses dependencies that are available only in "devel", add the dependencies to your DAG as PyPI dependencies.

• Backported Airflow upstream fix for the broken GCP connection in the DataflowJavaOperator and DataflowPythonOperator AIRFLOW-2009 in all Cloud Composer managed Airflow versions.

• Backported Airflow upstream fixes for CVE-2018-20244: Stored XSS in Apache Airflow in all Cloud Composer managed Airflow versions (1.9.0, 1.10.0, 1.10.1).

  Due to this vulnerability, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest Cloud Composer version.
