  5. com.google.endpoints:endpoints-management-api-client
  6. com.google.endpoints:endpoints-management-control
  7. com.google.endpoints:endpoints-management-control-all

When possible, we recommend that you use the endpoints-management-control-appengine-all version of the library to ensure that all dependencies are properly included. However, if you have a specific dependency on endpoints-management-control-appengine and cannot use the endpoints-management-control-appengine-all version, or you are upgrading from version 1.0.11 or older, you must add the following additional dependencies to your project:

  • com.google.apis:google-api-services-servicemanagement version v1-rev14-1.22.0

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.31.0-gke.889 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade a cluster or a node pool. Google Distributed Cloud 1.31.0-gke.889 runs on Kubernetes v1.31.3-gke.100.

If you are using a third-party storage vendor, check the GDC 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 use with GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform.

Announcing an early look at two preview features:

  • A new architecture called advanced clusters. When advanced cluster is enabled, the underlying Google Distributed Cloud software deploys controllers that allow for a more extensible architecture. Enabling advanced clusters gives you access to new features and capabilities, such as topology domains.

  • A topology domain is a pool of cluster nodes that are considered to be part of the same logical or physical grouping. Topology domains correspond to some underlying hardware or software that has the possibility of correlated failure, like networking equipment in a rack. As part of setting up a topology domain, you create a topology label that is set on all the nodes in the topology domain during cluster creation. This label lets you set up Pod Topology Spread Constraints.

Note the following limitations of the preview:

Upgrade changes:

  • Dataplane V2 is required for all user clusters. Before upgrading a user cluster to 1.31, follow the steps in Enable Dataplane V2.

  • To upgrade clusters to 1.31, you must upgrade your admin cluster first and then user clusters. For more information, see Version rules.

Version changes:

Other changes:

  • Added support for configuring the GKE Identity Service to enforce a minimum transport layer security (TLS) version of 1.2 for HTTPS connections. By default, the GKE Identity Service allows TLS 1.1 and higher connections. If you require enforcement for a minimum of TLS 1.2, reach out to Cloud Customer Care for assistance.
  • Removed TLS/SSL weak message authentication code cipher suites in the vSphere cloud controller manager.

The following issues are fixed in 1.31.0-gke.889:

  • Fixed the issue that additional manual steps are needed after disabling always-on secrets encryption with gkectl update cluster.
  • Fixed the known issue that caused migrating a user cluster to Controlplane V2 to fail if secrets encryption has ever been enabled on the user cluster, even if it's already disabled.
  • Fixed the known issue where the gkectl upgrade command returned an incorrect error about the netapp storageclass.
  • Fixed the known issue where updating DataplaneV2 ForwardMode doesn't automatically trigger anetd DaemonSet restart.

The following Ubuntu vulnerabilities: are fixed in 1.31.0-gke.889:

Additional Ubuntu vulnerabilities fixed in 1.31.0-gke.889:

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal

Release 1.31.0-gke.889

Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.31.0-gke.889 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade clusters. Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.31.0-gke.889 runs on Kubernetes 1.31.

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 1.28 end of life: In accordance with the Version Support Policy, version 1.28 (all patch releases) of Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal has reached its end of life and is no longer supported.

Functionality changes:

  • Added support for configuring the GKE Identity Service to enforce a minimum transport layer security (TLS) version of 1.2 for HTTPS connections. By default, the GKE Identity Service allows TLS 1.1 and higher connections. If you require enforcement for a minimum of TLS 1.2, reach out to Cloud Customer Care for assistance.

  • Updated the bmctl push images command to check for the existence of an image digest to determine whether or not to push an image.

  • Increased priority for cert-manager pods to system-cluster-critical to prevent premature eviction under control plane node resource pressure.

  • Updated the logic for parsing the cluster configuration file for newer clusters to validate that the anthosBareMetalVersion value follows the full x.y.z-gke.n semantic versioning scheme, including the GKE patch version.

  • Updated the snapshot capability to collect the following information:

    • Details for all custom resources
    • Additional debugging information for clusters

  • Add a health check to check that the ifnode-problem-detector systemd service is running on the node.

  • Updated the bmctl update command to identify differences (if any) between the preview feature annotations in the cluster configuration file and the annotations in the deployed Cluster resource.

  • Added a --num-of-parallel-threads flag to the snapshot command (bmctl check cluster --snapshot) so that you can specify the number of threads to use to create a snapshot. The default number of threads for snapshot creation is 10.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where the registry mirror reachability check fails for a single unreachable registry mirror. Now the reachability check applies to configured registry mirrors only, instead of all registry mirrors.

  • Fixed the issue where non-root users can't run bmctl restore to restore quorum.

  • Fixed the issue that caused the cplb-update healthcheck job to run every 7 days, instead when needed only.

  • Fixed an issue where CronJob specs for periodic health checks weren't updated to reflect cluster annotation changes.

  • Fixed an issue where the control plane VIP might become unavailable because Keepalived didn't check correctly that the VIP is on a node with a responsive HAProxy.

  • Fixed the issue where, due to a misconfigured client, bmctl update misjudges clusters about whether they're self-managed.

  • Fixed Cloud Audit Logging failure due to allowlisting issue with multiple project IDs.

The following container image security vulnerabilities have been fixed in 1.31.0-gke.889:

Proportional heights for inverted triangle funnels

You can now use the Use proportional heights setting to display the value of categories in a funnel chart by varying the height of each bar when you select the inverted triangle funnel style option. Larger values have taller bars while smaller values have shorter bars.

Improved hide/remove data source fields

We've improved the functionality of hiding and removing fields from a data source:

  • You can remove any field from a data source. (Previously, you could only remove calculated fields.)
  • Hiding or removing a field from a data source prevents report viewers from accessing metadata about that field. Field metadata includes information such as the field name and type of connector that is used to access that field.

These improvements help you control access to your organization's sensitive information while still promoting data democratization.

Learn more about data governance in Looker Studio.

Dimensions in scorecard charts

You can now choose whether to display a dimension or a metric as the primary field in a scorecard chart. When a dimension is selected as the primary field, you can also select a different field for sorting the dimension values.

Apigee hybrid

hybrid v1.14.0

On December 16, 2024 we released an updated version of the Apigee hybrid software, v1.14.0.

Enhanced Proxy Limits in Hybrid environments

Starting in version v1.14, new Apigee hybrid organizations can be provisioned with the ability to deploy more than 50 proxies per environment enabled. This feature is already available for Apigee X.

Starting with Apigee hybrid version 1.14, the limits for Apigee hybrid organizations have increased:

  • The maximum number of deployed API proxies and shared flows per organization is 6000.
  • The maximum number of proxy deployment units per Apigee instance is 6000.
  • The maximum number of API base paths per Apigee organization is 3000.

When more than 50 proxies are deployed in an environment, Apigee will automatically partition the environment into several distinct replica sets, each containing a subset of proxies deployed in the environment. These replica subsets are equivalent in behavior to a single environment in the way it loads and runs a set of proxies and other environment resources. This will be transparent to the user, and you can continue to use the environment as you would a single environment.

Cassandra credential rotation

Starting in version v1.14, you can rotate Cassandra credentials in Kubernetes secrets. In addition, you can now roll back credential rotation before the cleanup job is initiated in both Vault and Kubernetes secrets. See:

Enable and disable metrics-based scaling with customAutoscaling.enabled

Starting in version v1.14, you can enable and disable metrics-based auto-scaling with the customAutoscaling.enabled configuration property. See:

New analytics and debug data pipeline for hybrid orgs

Starting with version 1.14, all newly created Apigee hybrid orgs created can use a new data pipeline to collect analytics and debug data and allow various runtime components to write data directly to our control plane. See:

Forward Proxy allowlist access

Starting in version v1.14, forward proxies pass through access to allowlisted URLs. Therefore you only need to configure allowlists to googleapis.com URLs on the server on which the forward proxy is configured. See:

Guardrails checks to ensure backups before upgrade

Starting in version 1.14 new guardrails checks have been added to ensure a backup is enabled and has been made before proceeding with an upgrade. See:

Bug ID Description

Looker Studio

Updated Admin Console setting

The Let editors set owner's credentials for data source access setting has been renamed to Allow users in this org to be the credential owner for any data source. This setting now exhibits the following changes in behavior, which may be breaking for some users:

  • If a Looker Studio administrator turns off this setting, any existing data sources that have a data source owner within the organization and that were configured to use Owner's Credentials must use Viewer's Credentials. Users who don't have access to a data source's underlying data may lose access to any Looker Studio content that is based on that data source. Re-enabling this setting restores the original Owner's Credentials to those data sources.

Learn more about this setting.

New condition option for filters on date or time data type dimensions

Report editors can now specify a value and a unit of time for the following filter conditions with date or time data type dimensions:

BigQuery

You can now replicate a dataset from the source region to one or more other regions with cross-region dataset replication. This feature is now generally available (GA).

BigQuery Managed Disaster Recovery provides managed failover and redundant compute capacity for business-critical workloads. It is intended for use in the case of a total region outage and is supported with the BigQuery Enterprise Plus edition only. This feature is now generally available (GA).

You can now create remote models in BigQuery ML based on the gemini-2.0-flash-exp model in Vertex AI. To create remote models, you can use either SQL or BigQuery DataFrames.

You can use the ML.GENERATE_TEXT function with these remote models to perform generative natural language tasks for text stored in BigQuery tables. You can also use the ML.GENERATE_TEXT function with these remote models to perform generative AI tasks, for example audio transcription or document classification, using image, video, audio, PDF, or text content stored in BigQuery object tables.

Try this feature by using either the Generate text by using the ML.GENERATE_TEXT function how-to topic, or the BigFrames Gemini 2.0 Text Generation Simple Example notebook.

This feature is in preview.

Cloud Composer

In January 2025, we plan to release Cloud Composer 2 versions that will always use the environment's service account for performing PyPI packages installations:

  • New Cloud Composer 2 environments created in versions 2.10.2 and later will have this change.
  • Currently, Cloud Composer 2 environments use the default Cloud Build service account if it exists (and the environment's service account if it doesn't). Depending on the way Cloud Build is configured in your project, this might mean that the default Cloud Compute service account or the legacy Cloud Build service account might be used by your environment. We recommend to configure Cloud Build to adhere to the principle of least privilege.
  • Make sure to check the Cloud Build default service account change page for information about changes to the default Cloud Build service account.
  • Cloud Composer 3 environments already use the environment's service account, and are not impacted by this change.

(Cloud Composer 3) It is now possible to upgrade an environment if the [sentry]sentry_on Airflow configuration option is set to true.

Cloud Composer no longer adds any missing IAM permissions to the Cloud Storage bucket when it is used to create an environment with a custom environment's bucket. Make sure that the environment's service account has permissions from the Composer Worker role on the bucket.

The COMPOSER_AGENT_BUILD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT environment variable is changed to reserved. This change improves the security of Cloud Composer environments.

Increased allowed timeouts when detecting tasks stuck in the "queued" state during the Airflow worker liveness check. This change makes it less likely that checks will incorrectly fail in specific scenarios. This change is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer.

(Cloud Composer 2) Airflow worker liveness check configuration was changed to be consistent with the configuration used in Cloud Composer 3. In particular, this change increases the timeout, giving the liveness check more time to detect unhealthy Airflow workers. This change is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer.

New Airflow builds are available in Cloud Composer 3:

  • composer-3-airflow-2.10.2-build.4 (default)
  • composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.11

New images are available in Cloud Composer 2:

  • composer-2.10.1-airflow-2.10.2 (default)
  • composer-2.10.1-airflow-2.9.3

Cloud Composer version 2.5.3 has reached its end of support period.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

The AlloyDB database performance snapshot reports feature is generally available (GA).This feature lets you improve your database performance by using a report that compares snapshots of system metrics between two different points in time. For more information, see Optimize database performance by comparing performance snapshots.

Anthos Config Management

Hierarchy Controller is no longer available to install. Config Sync upgrades are blocked if Hierarchy Controller is still configured. To continue using similar functionality, migrate from Hierarchy Controller to Hierarchical Namespace Controller before you upgrade Config Sync.

Improved the manual installation process for Config Sync. When you install Config Sync manually using kubectl (not recommended), Config Sync is now deployed directly without relying on the Config Management Operator. This change results in simplified architecture and reduced resource use on your cluster. If you manually installed Config Sync using kubectl, follow the guide to uninstall the Config Management Operator before you upgrade.

When you use Config Sync to manage configurations that are stored in OCI repositories (such as Artifact Registry), you can now enhance your security posture with custom signature verification. Config Sync integrates with your existing signature verification server deployed as a Kubernetes admission webhook, which helps ensure only trusted OCI images are used in your deployments. See the Sync OCI artifacts guide for setup instructions.

Introduced a new field for stopping and resuming syncing. This field is available on clusters with Config Sync auto-upgrades or with Config Sync version 1.20.0. The new field makes it easier to pause syncing by setting the spec.configSync.stopSyncing field to true.

To optimize resource use, Config Sync installations managed through Fleet no longer include the ConfigManagement Operator or the ConfigManagement CRD. These components are automatically removed when you upgrade to version 1.20.0 or later. This change reduces Config Sync's resource consumption in your cluster. See Config Sync architecture for details.

Upgraded the git-sync dependency from v4.2.4 to v4.3.0 to pick up a fix for lingering Git lock files and other vulnerability fixes.

Fixed a bug that prevented the applyset.kubernetes.io/part-of label from being correctly removed from managed objects when they were no longer managed by Config Sync. This fix improves the accuracy of label information.

Fixed an issue that could cause sync delays due to retry backoff problems. This fix helps ensure more timely and consistent updates to your clusters.

Certificate Manager

Certificate Manager has passed HIPAA compliance validation and is listed as a covered product in HIPPA compliance on Google Cloud.

Cloud Composer

New Cloud Composer 3 environments can now be created in VPC SC. This feature is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer.

Improved Airflow worker liveness checks to detect workers with unexpected idle task slots. This feature improves the stability of Airflow by better detection of unhealthy Airflow workers. This feature is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer.

Long log entries now have proper task instance annotations.

(Cloud Composer 3) KubernetesPodOperator now works when the do_xcom_push parameter is set to True.

(Cloud Composer 2) If an upgrade operation fails, Cloud Composer 2 now restores the environment with the correct number of triggers.

The maximum limit on the database size during upgrades in Cloud Composer 3 is now the same as the limit for snapshots (20 GB).

(New Cloud Composer 3 environments) Increased the maximum number of internet connections that each Airflow worker can support at the same time.

(Cloud Composer 2 only) It is now possible to upgrade an environment if the [sentry]sentry_on Airflow configuration option is set to true.

Fixed the issue in the environment's component responsible for uploading the logs of Airflow components to Cloud Logging. This bug sometimes lead to a situation where Cloud Composer-level log might be missing for an Airflow component. The same log was still available on the Kubernetes-component level.

(Airflow 2.10.2 and 2.9.3) The apache-airflow-providers-google package was upgraded to version 10.26.0 in Cloud Composer 2 images and Cloud Composer 3 builds. For more information about changes, see the apache-airflow-providers-google changelog from version 10.25.0 to version 10.26.0.

For more information about changes, see the apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes changelog from version 9.0.1 to version 10.0.1.

The aiohttp package was downgraded from 3.11.0 to 3.10.11.

(Available without upgrading) Fixed an issue where Airflow workers sometimes generated incomplete or unreadable output.

The default version of Airflow is changed to 2.10.2.

Vertex AI Agent Builder

Vertex AI Search: Boost controls for media recommendations (Public preview)

Boost controls are used to affect the order in which recommendations are listed. Boost controls use filters on string and boolean values in the schema data to determine what media content to boost or bury. The boost value (-1 to 1) determines whether the content should be placed lower (buried) or higher (boosted) in the list of recommendations returned.

Boost controls are attached to serving configs and applied to recommend method calls.

The boost feature is in public preview and is available through the API. For more information about the feature, see Boost and bury media recommendations.

Google Kubernetes Engine

Clusters now have unified and flexible configuration, allowing you to modify control plane access and cluster node settings at any time, without the need to recreate the cluster. This eliminates the previous distinction between private and public clusters. All clusters support this flexibility and utilize DNS-based endpoints for secure and direct control plane access from any network, removing the need for bastion hosts or proxies. You can still enhance security with measures like VPC Service Controls.

To learn more, see About network isolation in GKE.

DNS-based access for GKE clusters control plane is now generally available. This capability provides each cluster with a unique domain name system (DNS) name or fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). Access to clusters is controlled through IAM policies, eliminating the need for bastion hosts or proxy nodes. Authorized users can connect to the control plane from different cloud networks, on-prem deployments, or from remote locations, without relying on proxies.

To learn more, see About network isolation in GKE.

An issue has been fixed where killing queries on BigQuery Standard SQL could be unnecessarily expensive. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where special characters (such as < and >) in pivoted dimension values could cause Looker to incorrectly truncate legend labels. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where downloading a dashboard tile with an invalid hex color code as an Excel spreadsheet could cause the download to fail. Looker now applies a default font color instead.

An issue has been fixed where location type fields could not be used in custom filter expressions. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where invalid "set" or "when" LookML fields could cause the LookML Validator to fail with a 500 error. The LookML Validator now displays a more informative error message.

An issue has been fixed where a locale value of fr would fall back to fr-CA instead of fr-FR, which was causing text to be translated incorrectly. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where the LookML IDE did not persist line wrap settings. This feature now performs as expected.

Upon upgrade to Looker 24.20, support access will be disabled on Looker (original) instances. To enable it, set a duration and a support access role on the Support Access page of the Admin panel.

Looker (original) deployments can now use the Redshift 2.1.0.30 driver.

A new Labs feature is available, New Database Connection Setup. When enabled, this feature updates the Add/Edit Connection page with a modernized UI, enhanced validation and connection testing capabilities, and a comprehensive configuration summary.

Google Cloud Technical Support access has updated duration settings of 0 to 48 hours. Admins may choose to grant all Support users either a Support Basic Editor role or a Support Advanced Editor role.

A new Labs feature is available, Tiered Support Access, which defaults to enabled. When this feature is disabled, Looker uses the legacy version of support access.

A new legacy feature is available, Use Legacy Project Creation Page. When this feature is enabled, it hides the Create a Model page and displays the deprecated New Project page.

A new Labs feature is available, Complex Filters UI Configuration for Explores. When this feature is enabled, matches (advanced) filters no longer update to simpler filter types when a comma is entered into the filter expression until the page is reloaded. This feature resolves a few stability issues with matches (advanced) filters.

Google Cloud Technical Support access is now available for Looker (Google Cloud core) instances. Update: This feature will become available to customers in January 2025. This item was updated on December 3, 2024.

An issue has been fixed where logging in to an instance using IP Allowlist could take a long time. This feature now performs as expected.
