August 01, 2024

In July and August 2024, new Cloud Composer 2 environments keep switching to using GKE 1.29 and PSC as a connectivity channel to the GKE control plane. Creating new Cloud Composer 2 private IP environments will require using PSC SERVICE_PRODUCER endpoints, which might be blocked by the Disable Private Service Connect for Consumers organization policy constraint. Previously, this org policy limitation could be addressed by using VPC peerings instead of PSC, but starting from GKE 1.29, this workaround is no longer available.

(Cloud Composer 3 only) The July 24th issue with Airflow upgrade operations for Cloud Composer 3 environments is now fixed. Airflow upgrade operations are now being re-enabled, and should reach all Cloud Composer 3 environments within the next couple of days.

The initial synchronization of DAGs and plugins in Airflow workloads is performed in a separate container and utilizes full resources of the Pod.

(Cloud Composer 3) Fixed an error that happened when values in certain formats were used for Airflow configuration options.

New Airflow builds are available in Cloud Composer 3:

composer-3-airflow-2.9.1-build.2
composer-3-airflow-2.7.3-build.11

(Cloud Composer 3 only) We are currently experiencing an issue with the Airflow upgrade operations for Cloud Composer 3 environments. Upgrading Airflow builds for Cloud Composer 3 is temporarily disabled as we continue our work to restore Airflow upgrade functionalities.

July 18, 2024

Information about excluded Cloud Storage objects in the environment's bucket is no longer logged. This change reduces the usage of the Storage API during the synchronization of DAG files, which improves the performance of Airflow components and results in fewer Airflow component restarts. The change will gradually become available in all Cloud Composer environments.

July 17, 2024

Airflow 2.9.1 is available in Cloud Composer images and builds. We recommend checking the list of changes in Apache Airflow release notes before upgrading to this version.

(Airflow 2.9.1) Task context logging is disabled, and it is not possible to enable it.

(Airflow 2.9.1) Raw HTML code in DAG docs and DAG parameter descriptions is disabled by default.

(Airflow 2.9.1) Audit log permissions are revoked from all roles except Admin.

The apache-airflow-providers-google package was upgraded to version 10.21.0 in Cloud Composer 2 images with Airflow 2.7.3 and 2.9.1, and in all latest Cloud Composer 3 builds. For more information about changes, see the apache-airflow-providers-google changelog from version 10.18.0 to version 10.21.0.

The upgraded apache-airflow-providers-google package provides new operators and sensors for triggering DAGs across Cloud Composer environments:

CloudComposerRunAirflowCLICommandOperator makes a call to the Airflow REST API of a Cloud Composer environment.
CloudComposerDAGRunSensor checks if a DAG Run is completed.

When installing PyPI packages, if you want your builds to run with a custom service account, you can override the COMPOSER_AGENT_BUILD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT environment variable with the chosen service account. For more information, see Install Python dependencies.

New Cloud Composer 2 environments are gradually switched to using GKE 1.29 and PSC as a connectivity channel to the GKE control plane. The IP address for the PSC endpoint will be taken from the nodes IP range. This change might require using a larger IP range for the nodes when you create an environment.

July 02, 2024

2024-07-03 Update: Resolution status updated.

The CVE-2024-6387 vulnerability in the OpenSSH package issue was discovered recently. GKE clusters used by Cloud Composer environments are impacted by this vulnerability, and Cloud Composer 1 and 2 environments that use Public IP networking are especially vulnerable to the described issue. For more information about CVE-2024-6387, see Google GKE Security bulletins.

Newly created Composer environments should not be impacted by this issue any more
Composer-owned GKE clusters will be auto-upgraded to newer GKE versions including the fix for CVE-2024-6387. Other components of Composer environments using older versions of COS images will also be upgraded. These operations will be done in an expedited manner so some of the update operations might be done outside environment's regular maintenance windows.

While Google works on resolving this issue so Composer environments are immune to CVE-2024-6387, you can disallow SSH to the Cloud Composer's cluster nodes through establishing proper firewall rules on the environment's cluster as described in the Google GKE Security bulletins. Follow the steps outlined for GKE.

A new Airflow build is available in Cloud Composer 3:

Starting from GKE version 1.27.5, Cloud Composer environment clusters will start using SSD disks as persistent disks. The disk quota will change from Persistent disk standard (GB) to Persistent disk SSD (GB). Please check the Persistent disk SSD (GB) quota in your project and request an increase if this quota approaches its limit.

A single environment created using a Small environment preset requires at least 600 GB SSD disk space and the SSD quota must be able to accommodate it.

Being close to the limit of the SSD quota might impact the autoscaling capabilities of Cloud Composer environments or make impossible to create new environments.

The Logs in Cloud Logging Only feature is enabled by default in new environments:

New Cloud Composer environments now save Airflow task logs only in Cloud Logging by default.
Existing environments are not changed. If you upgrade an existing environment to Cloud Composer 2.8.0, it keeps saving logs to the environment's bucket.
You can enable and disable saving logs to the environment's bucket for an existing environment.

Fixed a problem where some Airflow tasks were failing because the task could not write logs to the environment's bucket.

Before upgrading, make sure that custom PyPI packages in your environment are compatible with Python 3.11.8.

Between April 16, 2024, 2:00 AM (PST) and April 17, 2024, 3:30 AM (PST), Cloud Composer service experienced problems with environment creation, upgrades, and changing the environment size. The problem is resolved and all operations are working. If you think that your environment is still impacted by this issue, please reach out to the Cloud Support team.

(New environments only) Increased the default value of the [webserver]auto_refresh_interval Airflow configuration option to 15 seconds. Pages in the Airflow UI, such as the list of DAGs, now will update every 15 seconds.

(Available without upgrading) Fixed a problem where enabling or disabling Logs in Cloud Logging Only could render the Airflow web server and workers inoperative. If your environment is affected, apply the fix by enabling or disabling this feature again.

March 26, 2024

The Logs in Cloud Logging only feature is available in all regions:

In newly created Cloud Composer environments, Airflow task logs are now stored only in Cloud Logging by default.
You can disable this feature for a new or an existing environment. In this case, Airflow task logs are saved both to Cloud Logging and to the environment's bucket.

The default values of the following Airflow configuration options are changed to provide more optimized Cloud Composer environments. This change applies to new environments with Airflow 2.6.3 and 2.7.3 and to existing environments that do not use custom values for these parameters. For existing environments, the new default values will be used after an upgrade.

[scheduler]job_heartbeat_sec to 30
[scheduler]scheduler_health_check_threshold to 60
[scheduler]scheduler_heartbeat_sec to 15

(Cloud Composer 2 in select regions) Cloud Composer shows the account selection and consent screens when opening Airflow UI for an environment.

If you have the "Don't allow users to access any third-party apps" setting enabled in Google Workspace, then configure access to the "Apache Airflow in Cloud Composer" app in Google Workspace, so that your Google Workspace users can still access Airflow UI in Cloud Composer environments. For more information, see Allow access to Airflow UI in Google Workspace.

(Cloud Composer 2 in select regions) Reduced the propagation time of the revoked Cloud IAM permission that blocks access to Airflow UI.

In new environments with Airflow 2.6.3, the default values of the following Airflow configuration options are changed to provide more optimized Cloud Composer environments:

The enabling and disabling functionality for the Logs in Cloud Logging only feature was temporarily rolled back.

At the moment, it is not possible to enable or disable this feature, and your environment will keep its current configuration. If this feature is enabled, Cloud Composer will keep saving logs to Cloud Logging only. Newly created environments save logs to Cloud Logging only and the environment's bucket.

We will announce when the issue is resolved.

February 05, 2024

Data lineage is now generally available (GA) in Cloud Composer 2.

Data lineage integration is now enabled by default in newly created environments with Cloud Composer version 2.1.2 and later, if Data Lineage API is enabled in the environment's project. Existing and upgraded environments keep their current configuration.

Python 3.11 is available in environments with Airflow 2.6.3:

New environments with Airflow 2.6.3 use Python 3.11. Python 3.8 is no longer available in new environments with Airflow 2.6.3.
Existing environments with Airflow 2.6.3 switch to Python 3.11 when upgraded. Before upgrading, make sure that custom PyPI packages in your environment are compatible with Python 3.11.

Cloud Composer versions earlier than 2.6.0 keep using Python 3.8.

Airflow worker memory requirements in Python 3.11 are 10% higher compared to workers in Python 3.8. If you use custom settings for Airflow worker CPU and memory limits, then Airflow workers in your environment might enter the CrashLoopBackOff status and stop executing tasks, if resource consumption goes above the limit.

If your environment is impacted, see the related known issue for possible solutions: Workers require more memory than in previous Airflow versions.

The default worker_concurrency formula was adjusted in Airflow 2.6.3 and later versions to accommodate this change.

(Available without upgrading) The default worker_concurrency in Airflow 2.6.3 and later versions is now calculated using a different formula. For more information, see Change worker concurrency.

Connections to the Redis environment component are now additionally secured with a password. Improved the reliability of the environment component responsible for metrics reporting (airflow-monitoring).

Existing environments with Airflow 2.6.3 will keep using Python 3.8 until they are upgraded.
Cloud Composer versions released before this change will keep using Python 3.8.

January 25, 2024

The Logs in Cloud Logging Only feature is now generally available (GA):

New Cloud Composer environments now save Airflow task logs only in Cloud Logging by default.
Existing environments are not changed. If you upgrade an existing environment to Cloud Composer 2.5.5, it keeps saving logs to the environment's bucket.
You can enable and disable saving logs to the environment's bucket for an existing environment.

Increased the amount of memory available to the Redis component in environments with Medium and Large environment sizes. This change improves the performance of Cloud Composer environments.

Sensitive Airflow configuration options are now hidden in Airflow UI by default. The default value of the [webserver]expose_config option is now set to non-sensitive-only.

(Available without upgrading) In VPC Service Controls setups, device policy attributes in access levels are now respected when accessing the Airflow web server.

The apache-airflow-providers-google package in images with Airflow 2.5.1 and 2.4.3 was upgraded to version 2023.6.6+composer. This version is based on the public version 10.1.1, with additional fixes to some operators and upgrades to many SDK package dependencies (such as protobuf). Notable changes include:

Google Ads default API changed from version 12 to 13.
protobuf==4.22.5 is included, this is the first Cloud Composer version with protobuf version 4.x.
In this version of the provider package, the deprecated delegate_to parameter is removed from all GCP operators, hooks, and triggers, as well as from Firestore and Gsuite transfer operators that interact with GCS. Impersonation can be achieved by utilizing the impersonation_chain parameter instead. The delegate_to param remains available only in Gsuite and marketing platform hooks and operators that don't interact with Google Cloud.

For a full list of changes in the apache-airflow-providers-google, see the changelog from version 8.9.0 to 10.1.1 on the apache-airflow-providers-google page.

(Cloud Composer 2) Fixed an issue where it was not possible to delete a Cloud Composer environment if the environment's service account was already deleted.

The google-cloud-asset package is added to images with Airflow 2.5.1 and 2.4.3.

May 30, 2023

Starting July 2023, the new composer.environments.executeAirflowCommand permission will be required to run Airflow CLI commands through the gcloud composer environments run command:

The composer.user and composer.environmentAndStorageObjectViewer roles do not have this permission and will not be permitted to run Airflow CLI commands starting July 2023.
This permission is already available in IAM and you can assign it in advance.
This permission is already added to the composer.admin composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin roles.
This change applies only to Cloud Composer 2 environments. It will still be possible to run Airflow CLI commands on Cloud Composer 1 environments without this permission.

(Cloud Composer 2) The number of web server workers is now set dynamically based on available web server CPU and memory. This change improves Airflow web server performance and scalability by allowing it to handle more users.

These workers are internal to the gunicorn web server and are not related to workers that run tasks.
The new value is applied to the [webserver]workers Airflow configuration option when you change the environment's configuration. To use a different value, override this Airflow configuration option.
The number of web server workers is clamped between 2 and 12 workers and is calculated as the minimum of (web_server_CPU * 2) + 1 and web_server_memory * 1.1.

(Cloud Composer 2) You can now use custom certificates when installing packages from your private repository.

(Cloud Composer 2) The deprecated [core]non_pooled_task_slot_count Airflow configuration option is replaced with the [core]default_pool_task_slot_count configuration option in the default Airflow configuration. Make sure to update your custom Airflow configuration overrides to use the new option instead of the deprecated one.

An improved error message is now displayed when a subnetwork with unsupported IPv4 ranges is used to create an environment in a shared VPC configuration.

Splitting Celery logs into stdout/stderr (#30485) is now possible with the [logging]celery_stdout_stderr_separation Airflow configuration option. The default value for this option is False.

(Cloud Composer 2) Increased the default values of [core]dagbag_import_timeout to 120 seconds, and dag_file_processor_timeout to 300 seconds. The updated parameters allow the DAG Processor to parse more DAGs and provide more time to add parsed DAGs into the DAG bag.

(Cloud Composer 2) Increased the default value of [scheduler]zombie_detection_interval to 20 seconds. This change reduces the chance that Airflow skips retry attempts for a zombie task.

We are currently experiencing an issue with gcloud CLI version 410.0.0. Some composer commands return non-zero error codes along with an additional gcloud crashed (TypeError): 'NoneType' object is not callable) output message.

This issue doesn't impact the functionality provided by the commands when used in interactive mode. It may contribute to misleading error stack traces and cause failures when using the commands programmatically since it returns non-zero error codes.

If your operations could be affected by this issue, please refrain from upgrading to gcloud CLI version 410.0.0.
If you already performed the upgrade, you can downgrade to a previous gcloud version. For more information see Cloud Composer known issues.

Cloud Composer versions 1.17.3 and 2.0.0-preview.4 have reached their end of full support period.

October 18, 2022

(Available without upgrading) Fixed the issue with the CrashLoopBackOff task status in Airflow 2.3. The default worker_concurrency in Airflow 2.3.3 and later versions is now calculated using both worker CPU and worker memory values. See Change worker concurrency.

Starting from Cloud Composer version 2.0.29, new private IP environments by default use Private Service Connect (instead of VPC peerings).

You can set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables in your environment. These standard Linux variables are used to route traffic through the specified proxies. The NO_PROXY variable by default is set to a list of Google domains so that they are excluded from proxying.

(Cloud Composer 2) Cloud Composer now generates appropriate error messages if your environment components cannot access required Google domains.

The result of the airflow_monitoring DAG is no longer automatically sent to XCom. This change improves monitoring performance.

October 06, 2022

Starting from January 2023, the default version for new Cloud Composer environments changes from Cloud Composer 1 to Cloud Composer 2. New environments will use the latest Cloud Composer 2 version with the default Airflow 2 version (composer-2-airflow-2). Currently, the default version is composer-1-airflow-1.10.15.

This issue was addressed in a later release. The worker concurrency formula was changed in Airflow 2.3.3 and later versions.

Airflow worker memory requirements in Airflow 2.3 are 30% higher compared to workers in Airflow 2.2 or Airflow 2.1, which causes problems with automatically calculated Airflow worker concurrency.

If you use custom settings for Airflow worker CPU and memory, then Airflow workers in your environment might enter the CrashLoopBackOff status and stop executing tasks. We work on providing an adjustment in Cloud Composer service for this issue and will announce when it is available.

Please see the related known issue for possible solutions: Workers in Airflow 2.3 require more memory than in previous Airflow versions.

September 29, 2022

Airflow 2.3.3 is available in Cloud Composer images.

Images with Airflow 2.3.3 use the public version 8.1.0 of the apache-airflow-providers-google package. Other Cloud Composer images still use a custom version of this package, which is based on the public version 6.8.0.

When upgrading to Airflow 2.3, make sure that your environment is not affected by breaking changes introduced in the version 7.0.0 of this package.

Version 8.1.0 does not include some connectors, such as Dataform. Support for Dataform connectors will be available starting from version 8.3.0, which will be released together with Cloud Composer images with Airflow 2.3.4.

(New environments only) Encryption with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) now applies to the persistent disk of the environment's Redis queue.

(Available without upgrading) Fixed a problem where the termination grace period for Airflow worker Pods in Cloud Composer 2 was set to 30 seconds (from 3600 seconds) after updating an environment. If your environment is impacted, this fix will apply automatically on the next update (or upgrade) operation. To apply the fix immediately, you can override and then delete a non-existing environment variable in your environment.

(Available without upgrading) When an environment is deleted, Cloud Composer automatically deletes the persistent disk of the environment's Redis queue.

Set the logging level of Airflow's DeprecationWarning messages to Warning.

(Available without upgrading) Cloud Composer now makes several attempts to create an environment when the Cloud Composer connection subnetwork is locked by another operation. This change improves the reliability when creating environments with Public Service Connect.

We plan to switch new versions of Cloud Composer with Airflow 1.10.15 to Python 3.8. Starting from November 2021, new Cloud Composer images with Airflow 1.10.15 will use Python 3.8 instead of Python 3.6. Please check for PyPI package compatibility before upgrading your environment to a version with Python 3.8.

Java Runtime in Airflow workers and schedulers is updated from version 8 to version 11.

The default value for the visibility-timeout Airflow configuration option, which determines the amount of time after which the task is re-picked by another worker, is increased from 6 hours to 7 days.

Airflow has its own system for controlling task health, which is not dependent on visibility-timeout. If required, you can override the value of this configuration option for your environment.

If an Airflow configuration option is blocked in the image version specified for an upgrade operation, and this option has an override in your environment, the upgrade operation is rejected.

In Airflow UI, menu items for Configuration and DAG dependencies pages are now correctly displayed for users with the Op role.

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.
