On September 15, 2026, all Cloud Composer 1 versions and versions 2.0.x of Cloud Composer 2 will reach their planned end of life. You will not be able to use environments with these versions. We recommend planning migration to Cloud Composer 3. Cloud Composer 2 versions 2.1.x and later are still supported and are not impacted by this change.

This page describes how to enable and use Preview (Beta) features in Cloud Composer.
Cloud Composer uses two terms to indicate launch stages of its features: Preview and Beta. These terms are identical.
Typically, Preview features are indicated in the interface that you're
accessing the feature through. For example, the API endpoint URL includes
beta in the version, and in the Google Cloud console, there's a "Preview" tag
next to the field that you use to configure a Preview feature.
Cloud Composer documentation also specifies that a feature is in
Preview.
For more information about launch stages and Preview features, see the
product launch stages.
Preview features
To find out what features are in Preview, see
the Release notes.
