BigQuery

You can now create an external dataset in BigQuery that links to an existing database in Spanner. This feature is in preview.

ODBC driver update, release 3.0.7 1016

  • [New] Connector authentication on Google Cloud VMs: The connector now supports authentication through Application Default Credentials using the Google internal metadata server, eliminating the need for a keyfile. This feature works only on Google Cloud Compute Engine VMs.
  • [Resolved] The output for PrimaryKeys previously denoted the Key Sequence as a 0-indexed value. This has been corrected to a 1-indexed value, indicating the sequential order of the primary key's column within the primary key itself.
Cloud SQL for MySQL

You can now configure server certificate authority (CA) mode when you create a Cloud SQL instance. With server CA mode, you have two options:

  • Per-instance CA: this is the default configuration. With this option, an internal CA dedicated to each Cloud SQL instance signs the server certificate for that instance.
  • Shared CA: with this option, the Cloud SQL instance uses a CA hierarchy consisting of a root CA and subordinate server CAs managed by Cloud SQL and hosted on Google Cloud Certificate Authority Service (CA Service). The subordinate server CAs in a region sign the server certificates and are shared across instances in the region. This option can be used only with MySQL 8.0.30 and later.

For more information about each option, see Certificate authority (CA) hierarchies. This feature is in Preview.

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

The pg_ivm extension, version 1.9, is generally available. This extension enables you to make materialized views up-to-date in which only incremental changes are computed and applied on views rather than recomputing the contents from scratch.

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, version 16, now supports the pgRouting extension. This extension extends PostGIS and enhances geospatial processing through network routing and analysis.

For more information on these extensions, see Configure PostgreSQL extensions.

The rollout of the following minor versions, extension versions, and plugin versions is underway:

Apigee API hub

On September 26, 2024, Apigee announced the GA launch of Apigee API hub.

A new "Get started with API hub" page was added to the user interface. This new page includes valuable getting started information, including a new FAQ, to help you get the most out of API hub.

We added a new Supply chain page where you can create, view and manage your dependencies across API operations. The same dependencies can also be created from the API operations page. See Manage dependencies.

The Semantic Search (formerly Smart Search) user interface has been improved, and search results are shown across all API hub entities, such as APIs, deployments, specifications, and versions. See Search and filter APIs.

We added support for GMEK and CMEK in the provisioning steps. While provisioning, you can also choose to host your Vertex search data in a different location or disable Vertex search altogether. See Provision API hub.

We added support for Cloud audit logging.

The List APIs for specifications, dependencies, and external APIs have been enhanced to return a complete response, including user-defined attributes.

While you can use API hub by making direct REST over HTTP requests, we now provide client libraries for several popular languages. See API hub client libraries.

Significant user interface improvements were made, such as standardization of cards on the API details page, unlinking of deployments, various performance fixes, and more.

Apigee X

On September 26, 2024 we released an updated version of Apigee.

If you have CMEK org policy constraints on your Google Cloud project, Apigee will enforce compliance with those constraints and guide you in choosing valid configuration, and prevent you from using Apigee features that are not CMEK-compliant.

The following documents are new and explain how to use CMEK with Apigee:

The following documents have been updated with the relevant CMEK information:

A known issue was added: Apigee does not support Cloud External Key Manager.

A known issue was added: Apigee does not support key re-encryption, which means even after rotation, the old key version will still be used and you cannot change the CMEK key after org creation.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

The postgres_ann extension has been renamed to alloydb_scann. Before you upgrade to AlloyDB Omni Kubernetes operator version 1.1.1, you must drop any indexes created using the earlier postgres_ann version, then upgrade AlloyDB Omni, and then create the indexes again using the alloydb_scann extension.

Added a tutorial that shows you how to set up a connection from an application running in a Google Kubernetes Engine autopilot cluster to an AlloyDB instance.

AlloyDB Omni Kubernetes operator version 1.1.1 is now available. This patch fixes the following issues:

  • Fixed a regression for the AlloyDB Vertex AI integration.
  • Fixed a bug in which upgrading from version 1.0.0 to version 1.1.0 failed when using injected sidecars.
  • Fixed a bug in which backups weren't reestablished correctly across failovers when using the Commvault sidecar with high availability (HA) configurations.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a status to be incorrectly set by the load balancer, resulting in erroneous reports that the database cluster wasn't ready.

Upgrading to version 1.1.1 of the AlloyDB Omni Kubernetes operator might result in a brief interruption to all database clusters. No data loss is expected.

Anti Money Laundering AI

A new major engine version is now available for Retail and Commercial lines of business, within the v4 tuning version. This includes:

  • Reduction of the total requirement for Transaction and Account data from 41 to 30 months
  • Performance improvements across several feature families, focusing on more recent high risk activity
  • Adjustment to the calculation of the PartyRecall metric in the rare corner case when many customers have the same prediction score and it's not possible to yield exactly partyInvestigationsPerPeriod positive predictions
  • Uses the latest FATF high risk geos, published in Jan 2024 (High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action and Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring)

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Cloud SQL is discontinuing support for legacy high availability (HA) instance configuration on January 6, 2025. After this date, you can't create Cloud SQL for MySQL instances with the legacy configuration for high availability. You also can't enable the legacy configuration for high availability on existing instances. Until January 6, 2025, legacy HA instances are still covered by the Cloud SQL SLA. We recommend that you upgrade your existing legacy HA instances to regional persistent disk HA instances as soon as possible and create new HA instances using regional persistent disk instead.

Starting on May 1, 2025, Cloud SQL will migrate any remaining instances that use the legacy HA configuration to the current HA configuration automatically.

Workforce Identity Federation lets you use an external identity provider (IdP) to authenticate and authorize a workforce — a group of users, such as employees, partners, and contractors — using Identity and Access Management (IAM) to access Apigee services.

See Access Apigee using Workforce Identity Federation for more information.

Bug ID Description
338285095 Fixed a problem where apps associated with an AppGroup did not appear in the Apps list in the Apigee UI in Cloud Console. As a result, users could not access the app's App Detail page in the console. Using search in the console with a partial app name or API key search for the app was not available.

With this fix, users can now view apps associated with an AppGroup in the Apps list, and view details for each app or delete the app. Users will still not be able to create or edit AppGroup apps.

Apigee hybrid organizations were not impacted by this problem, as they use the Classic UI to view the app details.

Please go to the Legacy features page in the Admin panel and disable "Allow legacy maps"; if you encounter any issues, contact Looker Support.

The LookML Validator now checks for incompatible types in Liquid comparison expressions and, if it finds them, returns an error.

You can change the width of the panels in the Looker IDE, both the feature panel (which contains File Browser, Object Browser, and Git Actions) and the side panel (which contains Project Health, Quick Help, and Metadata). The size of the side panels is persisted across logins and refreshes.

The Chart Config Editor now supports sunburst visualizations.

The Redshift driver is now configured with AWS's recommended TCP keep-alive settings.

The content_summary API endpoint is now generally available. You can use this endpoint to search for recently viewed content or content that you have marked as a favorite.

Comprehensive API support for Looker Connected Sheets is now accessible through both AppsScript and the Google Sheets APIs. API support enables automated data refresh, custom workflows, and integration with external tools and services.

Looker instances with the Redshift license feature enabled will now use the driver version 2.1.0.30.

The Looker IDE now persists a user's IDE state, including the open LookML file in the file browser; the expanded or collapsed status of items in the file browser; the selected item in the IDE navigation bar (such as the file browser, Git actions, object browser, or project settings); the sidebar item (such as the Quick Help panel, the Metadata panel, and the Project Health panel), and the size of the IDE side panels. You can remove the persistence by clicking the Reset IDE Layout button in the new IDE Settings page of the Looker IDE. Note: Item added to release notes on September 16, 2024.

The Looker IDE now supports text line wrapping in the IDE editor. Line wrapping is now the default behavior. You can turn off line wrap mode in the new IDE Settings page in the Looker IDE. Note: Item added to release notes on September 16, 2024.

The Looker IDE supports Vim and Emacs editors in addition to the default Looker IDE editor. You now can set your editor preference in the new IDE Settings page in the Looker IDE. Note: Item added to release notes on September 16, 2024.

To improve performance for LookML validation, the LookML parser object pool has been increased from a fixed-size pool of three LookML parser objects per Looker node to a dynamic pool size that is equal to the number of provisioned CPUs in the Looker node.

An issue has been fixed where measures would remove COALESCE SQL expressions from dimensions during query generation. This feature now performs as expected.

CJK characters are now displayed properly in mobile browsers when they are included within inline table email attachments.

An issue has been fixed that was causing the Collapse All Folders button in the Looker IDE to not work correctly. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where some schedules would fail to send if a PDT was rebuilding. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue where downloaded queries would not show error messages has been fixed. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where the progress bar on single value visualizations could overlap with the visualization note. This feature now performs as expected.

The LookML validator no longer forces the full_suggestions parameter to be enabled in certain situations involving Liquid variables and derived tables.

The Chart Config Editor now displays a more informative error message if you try to use an unsupported visualization type.

An issue has been fixed where the LookML Validator would return incorrect errors on cancel_grouping_fields in Explores with joins. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where the Looker SQL Interface could not connect to Tableau using OAuth. This feature now performs as expected.

Internal database calls during LookML validation have been reduced.

An issue where the LookML Validator could crash if a LookML file incorrectly referenced a dimension_group in a filters parameter has been fixed. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where Looker was incorrectly sanitizing some of the allowed CSS properties. This feature now performs as expected.

The child_count property can now be omitted from dashboard and Look API responses when a feature flag is enabled.

An issue has been fixed with the TRUNC function on some Denodo 8 dialects. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where query metrics were not appearing in the Explore list. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where the LookML validator would not return an error when value_format and named_value_format were both defined for a field. This feature now performs as expected.

The render event has been added to the audit log list.

Looker (Google Cloud Core) provides comprehensive audit logging through Cloud Audit Logs, including full Data Access and System Event audit log coverage. Previously, Cloud Audit Logs for Looker (Google Cloud core) captured only admin activities like instance creation and deletion. Note: Item added to release notes on September 16, 2024.

An issue with SAML authentication has been fixed.

The audit log buffer is now persisted to minimize log data loss.

A new Labs feature, Delegate Model Set Management, lets admins grant a new permission, manage_modelsets_restricted. This permission grants users permissions that are similar to manage_models, but only for model sets to which the users have access.

With raw data export, you can export detailed CCAI Platform session data to an external storage bucket. With this data you can get insights into calls, chats, emails, queues, agent performance, virtual agents, and more.

Virtual agents can create and assign tickets for custom CRM apps

Virtual agents can now create and assign incoming tickets for custom CRM apps prior to a human agent taking the ticket. This capability was previously available only for some commercial CRM apps. For more information, see Configure the assignment of chat or call records created by virtual agents.

Barge is available for chat

Barge, which lets supervisors join or take over calls with end-users, is now available for chat. For more information, see Barge for calls and chat.

Reserved data attributes

With reserved data attributes, you can tag sessions with one of the following labels: Verified Customer, Bad Actor, or Repeat Customer. You can send this information to Google at the start of a session using an SDK, a SIP header, or the Apps API. With the API you can also send this information after the session starts. After we receive this information we display it in the agent adapter so the agent or a supervisor can act accordingly. For more information, see Reserved data attributes.

Compute Engine

Generally available: When applying a spread placement policy to VMs, you can specify the availability domain in which to place the VMs. Specifying an availability domain lets you decide how to physically locate VMs among each other, which can increase the reliability of your workload by placing VMs in different domains, or try to limit network latency among VMs by placing them in the same domain. Viewing the availability domains of your VMs is also useful for planning, deploying, or upgrading your application, as well as developing your availability SLAs.

For more information, see Create and apply spread placement policies to VMs.

The fleetwide and per-instance Observability tabs on the Compute Engine VM instances page now include charts for GPU metrics the from NVIDIA Management Library (NVML).

Contact Center AI Platform

VPC Service Controls and private egress

You can now use VPC Service Controls with CCAI Platform to help mitigate the risk of data exfiltration from your contact center. When you include a CCAI Platform instance in a VPC Service Controls perimeter, the instance is restricted from exchanging data with Google Cloud services (such as Cloud Storage or Dialogflow) that are outside of the perimeter. You can further secure your instance by including Contact Center AI Platform API in your list of restricted services. You can then create an access level to allow access to only your own administrators. For more information, see VPC Service Controls.

In addition to private ingress, you can now use Private Service Connect to set up private egress from your CCAI Platform instances. For more information, see Set up private egress.

Preview release of Memorystore for Valkey.

Network Connectivity Center

Preset topologies and include export filters are generally available.

Preset topologies let you specify the connectivity configuration across all VPC spokes. You can choose between mesh or star preset topologies. Include export filters lets you limit connectivity by specifying a list of permitted CIDR ranges, thereby blocking all but the permitted IP address ranges.

Service Catalog

Service Catalog now lets users provide a service account when they add or update a Terraform solution, deploy a new or existing Terraform solution, or deprovision a Terraform deployment, so that users can use their own managed service account to complete tasks with Service Catalog. For details, see Managing solutions and Changes to Cloud Build service accounts.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

Query federation between BigQuery and AlloyDB is now generally available (GA). This feature lets you use BigQuery to query data stored in AlloyDB databases.

Database server compatibility with PostgreSQL version 16 is now available in Preview. You can create AlloyDB clusters with PostgreSQL 16 compatibility.

Anthos Config Management

The spec.git and spec.enableLegacyFields fields of the ConfigManagement object have been removed. The spec.enableMultiRepo field is now set to true by default, automatically enabling the RootSync API. RootSync provides the same core functionality, along with additional features.

If you currently configure Git settings within a ConfigManagement object, to avoid disruptions, before upgrading you must migrate this configuration to a RootSync object.

Terraform version 5.41.0 introduced a new field to the google_gke_hub_feature_membership: config_sync.enabled. Because the default value of this field is false, it causes Config Sync installations to fail when Terraform is upgraded to version 5.41.0. For more information, including workarounds, see the known issue entry. This issue affects all supported Config Sync versions. This note was added on September 11, 2024.

Hierarchy Controller will not be available after December, 2024. After December, 2024, you can't install Hierarchy Controller and Config Sync will be blocked from upgrades if Hierarchy Controller is configured as a configmanagement fleet feature or through the ConfigManagement API. To continue using similar functionality, migrate from Hierarchy Controller to Hierarchical Namespace Controller. This note was added on September 6, 2024 and edited on September 9, 2024 for clarification.

Optimized Config Sync resource usage by implementing watch filtering with ApplySet ("applyset.kubernetes.io/" labels and annotations). This reduces reconciler Deployment memory consumption by limiting events and cached objects to those relevant to the managed package. For more information on the resource usage optimization, see Config Sync Watch Filtering v1.18 vs v1.19.

Config Sync now enables loading files from directories beyond the Kustomize root during rendering. For more information, refer to Configure Kubernetes with Kustomize.

Improved support for private registries. If you've configured a private registry for your cluster, Config Sync now automatically detects and updates the image references within its reconciler Deployments to point to the corresponding images in your private registry.

Upgraded bundled Helm version from v3.14.4 to v3.15.3 to pick up vulnerability fixes. To understand the changes in each release, review the changelogs.

Upgraded the Open Telemetry image from 0.102.0 to 0.103.0 to pick up vulnerability fixes. To understand the changes in each release, review the full changelog for opentelemetry-collector-contrib.

Fixed some inaccuracies in status updates and metrics reports.

BigQuery

The BigQuery Data Transfer Service now supports incremental transfers when you migrate your data from your Teradata data warehouses to BigQuery. This feature is generally available (GA).

Delta Lake BigLake tables are now generally available (GA). Delta Lake is an open source, tabular data storage format that supports petabyte scale data tables.

Dialogflow

Dialogflow CX & ES: Text-to-Speech Journey Voices will get an update in the week of Sept 3. If you select a journey voice in your agent Text-to-Speech settings (CX, ES), only LINEAR16 output audio_encoding (CX, ES) will be supported starting from Sept 3. This model update will also include slight variations in pauses, tone, and so on of the synthesized journey voices.

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.30.0-gke.1930 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade a cluster or a node pool. Google Distributed Cloud 1.30.0-gke.1930 runs on Kubernetes v1.30.3-gke.200.

If you are using a third-party storage vendor, check the GDCV Ready storage partners document to make sure the storage vendor has already passed the qualification for this release.

After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for installations or upgrades with the GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform.

  • For admin and user clusters created at 1.30 and later versions, loadBalancer.Kind needs to be set to either MetalLB or ManualLB.
  • For user clusters created at 1.30 and later versions, enableControlplaneV2 needs to be set to true.
  • The featureGates.GMPForSystemMetrics field in the stackdriver CR is now always on and can't be disabled. It has been default on since 1.16. If you have manually turned it off, this upgrade means a breaking change in some system metrics format. For information on changing this field, see Enabling and disabling Managed Service for Prometheus.

Version changes in 1.30.0-gke.1930:

  • Existing Seesaw load balancers now require TLS 1.2.
  • COS was upgraded to m109
  • Updated Dataplane V2 to use Cilium 1.13

Other changes in1.30.0-gke.1930:

  • Enhanced the upgrade process to include an automatic pre-upgrade check. Before you upgrade your admin or user cluster, the system runs this check to detect known issues. The check also provides guidance to ensure a smooth upgrade experience.
  • Ingress node ports are optional for ControlplaneV2 clusters.
  • Admin clusters created in 1.30 will use Dataplane V2, Google's Container Network Interface (CNI) implementation, which is based on Cilium.
  • Admin clusters upgraded to 1.30 from 1.29 will use Dataplane V2.
  • Removed mTLS on system metrics scrape endpoints, which makes it easier to integrate with 3rd party monitoring systems.
  • Stopped bundling cert-manager and removed the monitoring-operator because system components no longer depend on them. Cert-manager from existing 1.29 clusters will continue running, but stop being managed by Google after upgrading to 1.30. If you don't use cert-manager, you can delete cert-manager after upgrade. New clusters in 1.30 and higher won't come with cert-manager. If you rely on the bundled cert-manager for their own use case, you should install their own in new clusters.
  • The implementation of the preview feature usage metering has changed. Clusters using this feature will continue to function, but we recommend that you use the predefined dashboard, Anthos Cluster Utilization Metering, to understand resource usage at different levels.

​​The following issues were fixed in 1.30.0-gke.1930:

  • Fixed the known issue where cluster creation failed due to the control plane VIP in a different subnet.
  • Fixed the known issue where a user cluster with Binary Authorization failed to come up.
  • Fixed the known issue that caused the Connect Agent to lose connection to Google Cloud after a non-HA to HA admin cluster migration.
  • Fixed the known issue where the admin cluster upgrade failed for clusters created on versions 1.10 or earlier.
  • Fixed the known issue where the Docker bridge IP used 172.17.0.1/16 for COS cluster control plane nodes.
  • Fixed the known issue where the HA admin cluster installation preflight check reported the wrong number of required static IPs.
  • Fixed the known issue that caused multiple network interfaces with the standard CNI didn't work.
  • Fixed a gkeadm preflight check that wasn't validating the VM folder.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed in 1.30.0-gke.1930:

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal

Release 1.30.0-gke.1930

Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.30.0-gke.1930 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade clusters. Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.30.0-gke.1930 runs on Kubernetes 1.30.

After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for installations or upgrades with the GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform.

If you use a third-party storage vendor, check the Ready storage partners document to make sure the storage vendor has already passed the qualification for this release of Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal.

Version 1.16 end of life: In accordance with the Version Support Policy, version 1.16 (all patch releases) of Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal has reached its end of life and is no longer supported.

New and updated features:

  • Preview: Added support for keyless mode for clusters. This feature uses short-lived tokens and Workload Identity Federation for your cluster and workload credentials, instead of the default long-lived service account keys and Kubernetes Secrets. This feature provides improved security and reduces credential maintenance.

  • Preview: Added support for Custom Scheduler Configuration for pods to automatically spread workloads across cluster nodes for increased reliability.

  • GA: Added support for admin and hybrid clusters to manage multiple versions of user clusters concurrently.

  • GA: Added support for node-level private registry configuration for workload images.

  • GA: Updated the bmctl update command to display the difference between the specs in the YAML cluster configuration file and the deployed Cluster resource. The diff covers the specs for both the Cluster resource and the NodePool resource.

  • GA: Added support for rolling back select node pool upgrades.

  • GA: Added support for specifying a session duration for Identity Service-issued tokens. You can set a session duration between 15 and 1440 minutes (24 hours). Shorter sessions provide better security (at the cost of more frequent reauthentication). Longer sessions reduce the frequency for reauthentication (at the cost of reduced security).

  • Preview: Updated the gcloud beta container fleet memberships get-credentials command to use a connect gateway preview feature that lets you run the kubectl attach, cp, and exec commands. For more information, see Limitations.

Functionality changes:

  • Updated the node pool upgrade behavior. Version 1.30 and higher clusters, support all node pool versions from the preceding two minor versions. The preview.baremetal.cluster.gke.io/two-minor-version-node-pool: enable annotation isn't required when upgrading clusters from version 1.29 to version 1.30.

  • Updated the bmctl version command to return the metadata image digest in the response. To print only the metadata image digest only, specify the new --option value metadata-digest.

  • Deprecated the spec.gkeVersion field in the Machine custom resource. Starting with version 1.30.0, the spec.gkeVersion field is set to empty. For accurate version information, use anthosBareMetalVersion (GDC for bare metal version) in the Cluster resource spec or gkeVersion (Kubernetes version) in the Cluster resource status.

  • Updated Kubernetes audit logging to include request and response payloads from the Kubernetes API server for bare metal custom resources, such as Cluster, NodePool, BareMetalMachine, and BareMetalCluster.

  • Updated registry mirror support to allow you to specify a port for host addresses.

  • Updated the networking preflight check to verify that either the ip_tables or the nf_tables kernel module is available for loading, instead of being explicitly loaded.

  • Updated the stackdriver custom resource to remove the feature gate for using Managed Service for Prometheus for system metrics featureGates.GMPForSystemMetrics. This feature gate has defaulted to on (true) since version 1.16. If you have manually disabled using Managed Service for Prometheus for system metrics, upgrading to version 1.30 might be a breaking change for some system metrics formats.

  • Added checks to validate the SSH client certificate file type before saving the certificate as a Secret.

  • Updated GKE Identity Service custom resource definition to change the description for IdentityServiceOptions and improve formatting.

  • Added preflight checks for available disk space in specific directories:

    • During cluster creation, the following directories are checked:

      • / (the root directory) has at least 4 GiB of free space

      • /var/log/fluent-bit-buffers has at least 12 GiB of free space

      • /var/opt/buffered-metrics has at least 10016 MiB of free space

    • During a cluster upgrade, the following directory is checked:

      • / (the root directory) has at least 2 GiB of free space

  • GA: Adopted the GKE audit policy, instead of the previous unpopulated policy.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where old, inoperable WebHook resources caused problems with cluster upgrades.

  • Fixed an issue where upgraded clusters didn't get label updates that match the labels applied for newly created clusters, for a given version.

  • Fixed an issue where service accounts created by using the --create-service-accounts flag with the bmctl create config command don't have enough permissions.

  • Fixed an issue where the kubelet doesn't honor shortened, 1-second grace period for pod deletion during eviction-based draining.

Security Command Center

Dynamic mute rules are generally available

Security Command Center now supports dynamic mute rules, which allow you to mute future and existing findings temporarily until a specified date or indefinitely until a finding no longer matches the configuration. We are adding these rules as an alternative to the original static mute rules that only mute future findings indefinitely.

We recommend using dynamic mute rules exclusively in your mute rule configurations. For instructions on how to migrate your existing mute rules to dynamic mute rules, see Migrate from static to dynamic mute rules.

For a comparison of static and dynamic mute rules, see Types of mute rules.

Bigtable

The Preview of Data Boost for Bigtable has been expanded to let you use Data Boost compute resources when you read Bigtable data using a Spark application. For more information, see Use the Bigtable Spark connector.

Cloud Load Balancing

The Global external Application Load Balancer and the Classic Application Load Balancer will no longer support TLS sessionID resumption. They continue to support modern forms of TLS resumption.

The TLS protocol supports an optimization which allows a client reconnecting to a server with which it has communicated before to perform a cheaper abbreviated handshake. This optimization is available in several modes, which include the modern PSK and ticket mechanisms, as well as the long-obsolete sessionID mechanism.

The Global external Application Load Balancer and the Classic Application Load Balancer are the only Google Cloud products that currently support the obsolete sessionID mechanism.

This sessionID mechanism is going to be disabled over the next 4-5 weeks. Clients that currently make use of sessionID will transparently fall back to full TLS handshakes. To recover the performance optimization gains, we recommend that you upgrade clients to modern TLS libraries which support the PSK or ticket mechanisms.

Cloud NGFW

You can use custom constraints to provide more granular and customizable control over specific fields for firewall policy resources. For more information, see Manage firewall policy resources by using custom constraints. This feature is available in General Availability.

Dataplex

Data insights is generally available (GA). Data insights offers an automated way to explore and understand your data. It uses Gemini to generate queries based on the metadata of a table, and helps you uncover patterns, assess data quality, and perform statistical analysis.

You generate data insights in BigQuery. You can view data insights in Dataplex and in BigQuery.

Vertex AI Agent Builder

Vertex AI Search: Turn off schema auto-detect for structured data

By default, schema auto-detect dynamically adds new properties to the schema when the property fields are detected on data import.

However, you can turn off the dynamic feature so that only data that corresponds to fields already in the schema get imported. This is good approach for not-so-clean data because you can choose not to import extraneous data that isn't part of your defined schema and that you don't want in your structured data store.

For more information, see About providing your own schema as a JSON object.

Vertex AI Search: Datetime and geolocation detection for structured data

By default, when structured data is imported, fields that are detected in datetime and geolocation format are assigned those types in the schema.

However, you can turn off datetime and geolocation detection so that in the schema the datetime fields are set to type string and the geolocation fields are set to type object.

For more information, see About providing your own schema as a JSON object.

Apigee API hub

On August 23, 2024, we updated the Preview release of Apigee API hub.

You can now edit an uploaded API specification's metadata through the Cloud console. See Edit specification metadata.

You can now choose in the Cloud console to restrict the upload of an API specification file that contains errors. By default, specs containing errors are uploaded. See Add a spec to an existing version.

When an Apigee API proxy is auto-registered, its deployment type is now labeled either Apigee X or Apigee hybrid. Existing Apigee proxy deployments registered with API hub will also be labeled with the appropriate type. See Auto-register Apigee proxies.

All API proxy endpoints auto-registered from Apigee will be prefixed with https:// by default. Endpoints for existing API proxies that were added to API hub will be updated.

A validation check has been added to reject an API specification style guide upload if the style guide's extends property contains a URL. See Upload a new style guide.

User interface and performance improvements were made.

Provisioning improvements were made to address potential failures.

Apigee hybrid

hybrid v1.13.0

On August 23, 2024 we released an updated version of the Apigee hybrid software, v1.13.0.

Storing additional secrets in an external secret store

Starting in version v1.13, You can now store AX Hash Salt, Redis password, and Encryption keys in an external secret store like Hashicorp Vault. See Storing Secrets in Vault.

Apigee Operator now runs in the Apigee Kubernetes namespace

Starting in version v1.13, apigee-operator runs in the same name space as the other Apigee hybrid components instead of the apigee-system namespace. You can use apigee or your own custom Apigee namespace. See Upgrading Apigee hybrid to version v1.13.0 and Step 3: Create the apigee namespace.

Improved backup and restore

Starting in version v1.13.0, Apigee hybrid introduces a new backup and restore system. The new system removes the need for pod exec permission and use of a Kubernetes ClusterRole, and requires fewer Kubernetes Service Accounts when using Workload Identity. The new system replaces use of the apigee-cassandra-backup-utility image by using the apigee-hybrid-cassandra-client image. The apigee-cassandra-backup-utility image will no longer be provided starting with this release. See Scheduling backups in a remote server.

Leader election enabled for apigee-watcher component

Starting in version v1.13.0, leader election is enabled for the apigee-watcher component. For proper functioning of the leader election, make sure that the apigee-watcher component uses only one replica set.

Document AI

Date and Currency Normalization for custom extractor

With this release, the model will deduce the region information from the document and use it to disambiguate the date and currency formats in the following ways:

  • This release will enable the support of region based date and currency normalization of entities with datetime and currency data types in Custom Document Extractor (CDE) Generative AI based processor versions v1.1 and v1.2.
  • Currently CDE Generative AI based processor supports date and currency normalization but it defaults to US date format and USD respectively in case the values are ambiguous. In other words, if a date can be parsed in mm/dd/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy formats, it will use mm/dd/yyyy format for normalization. Similarly if $ can be mean USD or CAD, it would default to USD.

For more information, go to the Entity Normalization page.

Anthos clusters on Azure

The following vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel that can lead to a privilege escalation on Container-Optimized OS and Ubuntu nodes:

  • CVE-2024-39503

For more details, see the GCP-2024-047 security bulletin.

Backup and DR

Backup and DR Service hotfixes hf-11.0.12.3217, hf-11.0.12.3218, and hf-11.0.12.3219 automatically update backup/recovery appliances. These hotfixes address the following issues:

  • Oracle DB application backups wait indefinitely for in-progress log backups to complete. These log backups, in turn, cannot obtain a lock mutex to discover the backup staging LUNs, resulting in an indefinite hang. This issue occurs when the size of the application transaction logs exceeds the log backup staging size.
  • Cloud stats are repeatedly logged into the enginemgr log and increase log usage.
BigQuery

You can now perform anomaly detection with BigQuery ML multivariate time series (ARIMA_PLUS_XREG) models. This feature lets you detect anomalies in historical time series data or in new data with multiple feature columns. You can try this feature by using the Perform anomaly detection with a multivariate time-series forecasting model tutorial. This feature is generally available (GA).

Cloud Healthcare API

A new release is available. This release may include some or all of the following: general performance improvements, bug fixes, and updates to the API reference documentation.

New features

The following features are new in Kubernetes 1.31:

Deprecated APIs in 1.31

  • The following Beta versions of graduated APIs were deprecated in 1.29 in favor of newer versions:
    • flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 FlowSchema, PriorityLevelConfiguration
      • deprecated since 1.29, will no longer be served in 1.32
      • instead, use flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1, available since 1.29
  • The status.nodeInfo.kubeProxyVersion field in the Node API is deprecated and will not be populated starting in v1.33. The field is currently populated with the kubelet version, not the kube-proxy version, and might not accurately reflect the kube-proxy version in use. For more information, see KEP-4004.

Deprecated in-tree volume support

  • The Ceph CephFS (kubernetes.io/cephfs) and RBD (kubernetes.io/rbd) volume plugins are deprecated since 1.28 and are removed in 1.31.

  • To determine if you have volumes/pods using RBD or Ceph volumes, run the following commands. If either of them print output, then you are using a deprecated volume type.

    • kubectl describe pv | egrep \-i 'Type: \*(RBD|CephFS)'
    • kubectl describe pod \-A | egrep \-i 'Type: \*(RBD|CephFS)'

  • Switch to use an RBD or CephFS CSI driver (like the CSI drivers provided at https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/), or a Google Cloud-managed solution like Filestore.

  • For more information, refer to the OSS Kubernetes announcement and https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/
