Looker

Looker 25.8 is expected to include the following changes, features, and fixes:

  • Expected Looker (original) deployment start: Monday, May 19, 2025

  • Expected Looker (original) final deployment and download available: Thursday, May 29, 2025

  • Expected Looker (Google Cloud core) deployment start: Monday, May 19, 2025

  • Expected Looker (Google Cloud core) final deployment: Monday, June 2, 2025

An issue has been fixed where HTML in a LookML dimension wasn't being applied to Y-axis labels. This feature now performs as expected.

SSL host validation is now enabled by default. If any of your SSL certificates are invalid, certain Looker workflows may break.

You can now create connections using the Amazon Redshift 2.1+ or Amazon Redshift Serverless 2.1+ SQL dialect, both of which use the Redshift JDBC driver. Connections with the original Amazon Redshift SQL dialect option use the Postgres JDBC driver.

The Presto JDBC driver version has been updated to 0.291.

You can now select the JDBC driver version when you create or edit a connection.

The sync_lookml_dashboard API endpoint now accepts an optional dashboard_ids parameter to specify a subset of dashboards to synchronize.

The gemini_in_looker permission can now be applied to selected models on the Looker instance. The Gemini role still applies the gemini_in_looker permission to all models on the Looker instance; however, if needed, Looker admins can manually restrict use of Gemini in Looker to specific models by creating and assigning a Looker role with gemini_in_looker permissions on limited models.

When you create a custom measure, suggestions are now displayed for tier filters.

An issue has been fixed where some of the Project API endpoints wouldn't create a fresh dev mode copy of the LookML project files if no dev mode copy already existed. These endpoints now work as expected.

An issue has been fixed where Elite System Activity data could be delayed. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where navigating between Looks could cause the System Activity Explore to correlate an incorrect Look ID with a query ID. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where filtering on a pivoted field while Grid Layout by Row was enabled could return a server error. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where duplicating a dashboard tile and editing it could cause the tile to load indefinitely. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where scheduled reports could include limited columns even if All Results was enabled for the schedule. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where links in data tables couldn't be clicked. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where changes to the row limit and visualization configuration that were applied by custom visualizations were not saved in the System Activity query record. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where Looks could appear before dashboards in embedded folder navigation. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where running queries would not be canceled if a user navigated away from a dashboard, for example, by clicking an Explore from here link. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where all the folders in the IDE would collapse when a user toggled a folder on a new session. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where a scatterplot visualization could crash if there were less than three rows of data and clustering was enabled. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where additional queries that were used for totals and pivots would not include context comments. These queries now include context comments, and this feature performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where blank measure filters could prevent Looker from correctly displaying subtotals in table visualizations. This feature now performs as expected.

An issue has been fixed where the BigQuery storage project ID could be set to a user attribute value, even though Looker doesn't support user attributes in this field. The user interface for the Connections page has been updated, and this feature now performs as expected.

Previously, using Application Default Credentials (ADC) with a BigQuery connection caused Looker to incorrectly display the service account file upload button on the PDT Override panel; this button has now been removed and this feature now performs as expected.

Cloud Composer

A new Cloud Composer release has started on May 07, 2025. Get ready for upcoming changes and features as we roll out the new release to all regions. This release is in progress at the moment. Listed changes and features might not be available in some regions yet.

Data lineage in Cloud Composer now uses OpenLineage in all regions supported by Cloud Composer. For more information about this feature, see the previous announcement.

For newly created Cloud Composer 3 environments, the minimum amount of memory is changed to 2 GB.

For newly created environments, database retention policy is now enabled by default in Google Cloud CLI, API, and Terraform. Before this change, it was enabled by default only in Google Cloud Console.

Improved the environment liveness monitoring. This change addresses some cases of transient failures that caused "Liveness probe failed" warnings in the environment's logs.

(Airflow 2.10.5) The apache-airflow-providers-google package was upgraded to version 15.1.0 in Cloud Composer 2 images and Cloud Composer 3 builds.

For more information about changes, see the apache-airflow-providers-google changelog from version 14.0.0 to version 15.1.0.

(Airflow 2.10.5) Changes in preinstalled packages:

  • apache-airflow-providers-standard was upgraded to 1.0.0 from 0.4.0.
  • aiosqlite was removed from preinstalled packages.
  • json-merge-patch was removed from preinstalled packages.
  • time-machine was removed from preinstalled packages.

The default version of Airflow is changed to 2.10.5.

Airflow 2.10.2 is no longer included in Cloud Composer images and builds.

Migrate to Virtual Machines

Migrate to Virtual Machines now introduces an expiration time for a migrating VM. A migrating VM is a VM that you create during the migration process to migrate your workloads to Google Cloud.

A migrating VM stays active for 100 days from the time that the VM appears in the VM Migrations tab. After 100 days, the VM is moved to the EXPIRED state and stays in the EXPIRED state for 30 days. If you need more time to complete your migration, you can extend the lifespan of the migrating VM by an additional 100 days. You can only extend the lifespan of a migrating VM two weeks before the VM expires and throughout the expiration period (between 86 to 130 days from the creation of the VM). If you don't extend the lifespan of the VM during this period, the VM expires.

Text-to-Speech

We just released three new voice features for Chirp 3: HD Voices. Pace control is available across all locales; pause control is available across all locales; custom pronunciations is available across all locales except bn-in, gu-in, nl-be, sw-ke, th-th, uk-ua, ur-in, and vi-vn. Be sure to check our Chirp 3: HD Voices documentation for more information.

May 06, 2025

Apigee UI

On May 6, 2025, we released a new Apigee REST resource for debug sessions.

Apigee now offers a Management API that allows users to list all recent debug sessions for a given proxy, regardless of revision or environment and current deployment status. This API is available for use, and is now used to populate all recent debug sessions in the Apigee Debug UI.

For more information on this method, see: organizations.apis.debugsessions.list

Apigee X

On May 6, 2025, we released a new Apigee REST resource for debug sessions.

Apigee now offers a Management API that allows users to list all recent debug sessions for a given proxy, regardless of revision or environment and current deployment status. This API is available for use, and is now used to populate all recent debug sessions in the Apigee Debug UI.

For more information on this method, see: organizations.apis.debugsessions.list

BigQuery

In the Google Cloud console, Analytics Hub has been renamed BigQuery sharing (Analytics Hub).

Cloud Asset Inventory

The following resource types are now publicly available through the Search (SearchAllResources, SearchAllIamPolicies) APIs.

  • Eventarc
    • eventarc.googleapis.com/Channel
    • eventarc.googleapis.com/ChannelConnection
Cloud Composer

The Deployment Manager API is no longer automatically enabled when you enable Cloud Composer API because this API isn't used by the Cloud Composer service.

Environments with Cloud Composer versions 2.0.* still rely on the Deployment Manager API for updates, upgrades, and environment deletion. It won't be possible to perform these operations if this API is disabled. We recommend to upgrade your 2.0.* environments to a later version to remove this dependency.

Cloud Monitoring

When you create a snooze for a single alerting policy, you can now use resource, metric, and metadata label types to filter applicable incidents. For more information, see Create a snooze.

Cloud NAT

Private NAT supports Cloud Run in Preview. For more information, see Supported resources.

Cloud Run Cloud Service Mesh

The following images are now rolling out for managed Cloud Service Mesh:

  • 1.21.5-asm.42 is rolling out to the rapid release channel.
  • 1.20.8-asm.33 is rolling out to the regular release channel.
  • 1.19.10-asm.33 is rolling out to the stable release channel.

A behavioral change regarding user-provided credentials (private key and certificate) for TLS termination at ingress is now rolling out to the Rapid release channel. Subsequent announcements will appear for additional release channels.

The Kubernetes Secrets denoted by Gateway.servers.port.tls.credentialName will be read by each ingress gateway pod directly instead of the Control Plane. This change enhances security because the user-provided secret is read directly by the workloads instead of passing any managed component.

This change is compatible with previous behavior aside from the propagation speed of the updated secrets. Previously, updated secrets would propagate immediately. Now, updated secrets will propagate within 60 minutes. If you need immediate secret rotation, restart the gateway pods.

Each gateway pod reads Kubernetes secrets, so the number of the gateway pods becomes a scalability factor. We recommend the following maximum number of gateway pods:

  • If the GKE cluster is regional, 1500 or fewer pods
  • If the GKE cluster is zonal or using autopilot, 500 or fewer pods

If this change in behavior doesn't work for you, consider using the deployment with mounted credentials.

This change only affects clusters using Traffic Director and version 1.21.5-asm.42 or later.

Google Cloud Managed Service for Apache Kafka

General availability: Managed Service for Apache Kafka now supports configuring standard Apache Kafka ACLs using REST, gRPC, and gcloud CLI. For more information, see Access control with IAM and Kafka ACLs.

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.32.0-gke.1087 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade a cluster. Google Distributed Cloud 1.32.0-gke.1087 runs on Kubernetes v1.32.3-gke.1000.

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.

Version changes in 1.32.0-gke.1087:

  • The etcd version upgraded to 3.4.33
  • COS upgraded to milestone 117
  • containerd upgraded to 1.7
  • Cilium upgraded to 1.15.6

Other changes in 1.32.0-gke.1087:

  • The following legacy features are blocked during cluster upgrade:

    • Dataplane V1 (Calico)
    • Integrated F5 Big IP load balancer configuration
    • Non-HA admin cluster
    • Kubeception user cluster
    • Seesaw load balancer

    You must migrate your clusters to recommended features before upgrading to 1.32.

  • The following changes to MetalLB address pools were made to behave the same as advanced clusters:

    • Can't remove existing address pools
    • Can't remove addresses in an existing address pool
    • Can't change address pool name

  • The cert-manager component is available on advanced clusters.

  • Allow changing stackdriver.projectID to be the same as gkeconnect.projectID.

  • Removed support in the Konnectivity server (konnectivity-server) for the following weak cryptographic cipher suites: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.

  • Windows Server OS node pools are deprecated in version 1.32 and will be unavailable in version 1.33 and higher. Support for Windows Server OS node pools ends May 25, 2026. We recommend that you begin migration planning immediately to ensure a smooth transition before the support period ends.

The following issues were fixed in 1.32.0-gke.1087:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented user cluster upgrades when Dataplane V2 was explicitly configured with forward mode.

  • Skip checking additional IP address requirements for HA admin cluster upgrade.

  • Fixed missing validators for HA admin cluster and Controlplane V2 user control plane.

  • Fixed an issue during non-HA to HA admin cluster migration that prevented the migration from completing.

  • Fixed an issue where the VM template wasn't updated when HA admin control-plane machines were recreated.

  • Fixed an issue where resource validation counted customer workloads and reported warnings when customers ran high resource request workloads.

The 1.32.0-gke.1087 release includes many vulnerability fixes. For a list of all vulnerabilities fixed in this release, see Vulnerability fixes.

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal

Release 1.32.0-gke.1087

Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.32.0-gke.1087 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade clusters. Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.32.0-gke.1087 runs on Kubernetes v1.32.3-gke.1000.

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 1.29 end of life: In accordance with the Version Support Policy, version 1.29 (all patch releases) of Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal has reached its end of life and is no longer supported.

  • GA: Added support for new diagnosis utility for GKE Identity Service, which provides diagnostics information related to the login flow. This makes it easier to troubleshoot login and OIDC configuration issues. For more information, see See GKE Identity Service diagnostic utility.

  • GA: For high availability control planes, Google Distributed Cloud automatically configures the Keepalived virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) configuration to make failover behaviour deterministic and prevent interleaving of ARP replies with different MAC addresses:

    • By default, each Keepalived instance is configured with a different priority value.
    • Each Keepalived instance is configured with nopreempt to avoid elections when a non-master instance is restarted.

  • GA: Added support for a new field, controlPlane.loadBalancer.keepalivedVRRPGARPMasterRepeat, in the cluster configuration file that maps to the vrrp_garp_master_repeat setting for Keepalived. This field specifies the number of gratuitous ARP (GARP) messages to send at a time after a control plane node transitions to the role of the master server. The default value is 5.

  • GA: Added a new controlPlane.loadBalancer.mode, field for Layer 2 load balancing. This field lets you separate control plane load balancing from data plane load balancing:

    • At cluster creation, if you set controlPlane.loadBalancer.mode to bundled and loadBalancer.nodePoolSpec is configured, the control plane load balancer runs in the control plane node pool and the data plane load balancer runs in the load balancer node pool.
    • For an existing cluster where controlPlane.loadBalancer.mode isn't set and loadBalancer.nodePoolSpec isn't specified, both the control plane load balancer and the data plane load balancer run in the control plane node pool. You can migrate the data plane load balancer to a load balancer node pool by updating the cluster spec to specify a load balancer node pool (loadBalancer.nodePoolSpec) and to add controlPlane.loadBalancer.mode set to bundled.

  • Upgraded etcd to v3.4.33-0-gke.3.

  • Upgraded containerd to version 1.7.

  • Upgraded the SR-IOV operator, sriov-network-operator, to version 1.4.

  • Added Compress=yes to /etc/systemd/journald.conf to ensure that objects larger than 512 bytes are compressed before they are written to the file system.

  • Added new, default periodic health checks to ensure that Kubernetes cluster resources are configured correctly and functioning properly.

  • Added more namespaces to the default snapshot scenarios.

  • Added preflight check for kernel fsnotify settings for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.x.

  • Removed the leading timestamp from the bmctl version response. Temporarily, we've provided -t and --timestamps flags to revert to the old format.

  • Added a check for the FailedCgroupRemoval node condition to the node problem detector (NPD) to look for orphan container processes on nodes. By default, a new plugin for NPD automatically fixes this condition on the node.

  • Updated the cluster delete process to delete worker node pools prior to removing any control plane nodes. This change applies to supported cluster deletion flows, including bmctl, the Google Cloud CLI, and the Google Cloud console.

  • Updated the log entries in the backup.log file created by the bmctl backup command to improve readability.

  • Updated the cluster upgrade operation to keep only the three latest kubeadm backups of etcd and configuration information for a node. Previously, kubeadm kept node backups for every attempted upgrade.

  • Added the kubelet config, CPU Manager state, and Memory Manager state to node snapshots.

  • Fixed an issue that resulted in an excessive creation of periodic kube-proxy-cleanup jobs on cluster nodes with high pod utilization.

  • Fixed an issue that caused cluster creation to fail because kubelet restarted before required static pods are running.

  • Fixed an issue where node upgrades failed due to a missing super-admin.conf file.

  • Fixed an issue where the bmctl update cluster command fails for user clusters that were created with the cloudOperationsServiceAccountKeyPath setting in the header section of the cluster configuration file.

  • Fixed an issue where prompting during bmctl update cluster prevented use of automation. You can now use the --quiet flag to skip prompting.

  • Fixed an issue where node machines didn't update when the registry mirror hosts field was updated.

The 1.32.0-gke.1086 release includes many vulnerability fixes. For a list of all vulnerabilities fixed in this release, see Vulnerability fixes.

For information about the latest known issues, see Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal known issues in the Troubleshooting section.

Anthos Config Management

The Config Sync auto-upgrades feature is now unavailable. You can no longer configure auto-upgrade settings and must manually upgrade the Config Sync version. If you currently use auto-upgrades, you must first disable auto-upgrades before you can manually update Config Sync.

Upgraded the Open Telemetry Collector image from v0.103.0 to v0.118.0. This upgrade includes a breaking change where the default OTLP component endpoint is now localhost instead of 0.0.0.0. You will be impacted only if you use a customized configuration for the built-in Otel Collector within Config Sync, and you can explicitly specify 0.0.0.0 for endpoints to ensure that your monitoring solution continues to function correctly. To understand the changes in each release, review the full changelog for opentelemetry-collector-contrib.

The nomos vet command now supports a --threshold flag to proactively validate the number of objects in your Config Sync repository. You can use this flag in validation pipelines to prevent sync failures caused by exceeding the underlying etcd size limits when your repository contains a large number of objects. For more information, see Enforce the maximum number of objects to sync.

Deleting a RootSync or RepoSync now removes its management metadata from all managed objects. This allows objects to be adopted by their new managers, simplifying the procedure for splitting a large configuration repository across multiple RootSync or RepoSync objects. For more information, see Break up a repository into multiple repositories.

Addressed multiple Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) by updating dependencies.

Fixed an issue impacting the Ignore object mutations feature. The client.lifecycle.config.k8s.io/mutation: ignore annotation was not always effective, causing Config Sync to potentially overwrite changes made directly to annotated resources in the cluster. Config Sync now correctly ignores mutations on these resources.

Fixed an issue preventing ResourceGroup objects from being garbage collected when their corresponding RootSync or RepoSync objects were deleted.

Fixed several issues to improve ResourceGroup status reporting and reliability.

Fixed an issue where drift prevention incorrectly blocked modifications of abandoned resources.

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.

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Cloud SQL gives you the flexibility to choose between three CA hierarchy options when you create a Cloud SQL instance.

You can choose between the per-instance CA (GOOGLE_MANAGED_INTERNAL_CA), the shared CA (GOOGLE_MANAGED_CAS_CA), or the customer-managed CA (CUSTOMER_MANAGED_CAS_CA) options as the server certificate authority (CA) mode for your instance. If you create an instance using the Google Cloud Console, then the shared CA option, (GOOGLE_MANAGED_CAS_CA), is the default configuration. If you create an instance using gcloud, the Cloud SQL Admin REST API, or Terraform, then the per-instance CA option (GOOGLE_MANAGED_INTERNAL_CA) is the default configuration.

The shared CA and customer-managed CA options are now generally available (GA).

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Cloud SQL gives you the flexibility to choose between three CA hierarchy options when you create a Cloud SQL instance.

You can choose between the per-instance CA (GOOGLE_MANAGED_INTERNAL_CA), the shared CA (GOOGLE_MANAGED_CAS_CA), or the customer-managed CA (CUSTOMER_MANAGED_CAS_CA) options as the server certificate authority (CA) mode for your instance. If you create an instance using the Google Cloud Console, then the shared CA option, (GOOGLE_MANAGED_CAS_CA), is the default configuration. If you create an instance using gcloud, the Cloud SQL Admin REST API, or Terraform, then the per-instance CA option (GOOGLE_MANAGED_INTERNAL_CA) is the default configuration.

The shared CA and customer-managed CA options are now generally available (GA).

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Cloud Billing

Find and eliminate waste using FinOps hub 2.0 with Gemini Cloud Assist (preview)

FinOps hub 2.0 adds a new dashboard, Utilization insights, designed to help you quickly identify and reduce cloud waste to get the most value from Google Cloud. You can do the following with FinOps hub's Utilization insights dashboard:

  • Assess estimated costs from underutilized resources (for example, idle, overprovisioned, underprovisioned and suboptimal configurations).
  • Use the visual Waste map to find the top waste drivers by projects and waste category, helping you focus your optimization efforts.
  • Leverage data-driven recommendations to optimize key services (Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud SQL, and Cloud Run) and App Hub applications.

Use Gemini Cloud Assist in FinOps hub to save time and simplify collaboration. If you have enabled Gemini Cloud Assist in Billing, Gemini generates summaries of top wasted usage insights and drafts email reports of utilization insights that you can share with your engineering teams for quicker remediation.

For more information about the FinOps hub Utilization insights dashboard, see:

For more information about Gemini Cloud Assist features in FinOps hub, see:

App Hub applications are now integrated with billing reports and the FinOps hub, to let you analyze costs by application. This integration provides detailed cost analysis for your specific applications, so FinOps and DevOps can see the cost of their applications and get recommendations on how to optimize their cloud efficiency.

Cloud Composer

A script for migrating from Cloud Composer 2 to Cloud Composer 3 is now available on GitHub.

For instructions about migrating with the script, see the new migration guide in Cloud Composer documentation.

Cloud Load Balancing

All Application and Proxy Network Load Balancers now support deployments where the load balancer frontend and the load balancer backend use different VPC networks. This is supported without the use of a Shared VPC deployment.

For regional and cross-region load balancers, connectivity between the load balancer's VPC network and the backend VPC network must be configured using either VPC Network Peering, Cloud VPN tunnels, Cloud Interconnect VLAN attachments, or a Network Connectivity Center framework.

For global and classic load balancers, the different VPC networks don't need to be connected using VPC Network Peering because GFEs communicate directly with backends in their respective VPC networks.

For more details, see the following pages:

Colab Enterprise

Gemini in Colab Enterprise, which is a product in the Gemini for Google Cloud portfolio, now includes additional capabilities in Preview. See the following:

Security Command Center

Security Command Center provides increased support for Microsoft Azure data.

Toxic Combinations for Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been released to General Availability.

Sensitive Data Protection

The discovery service of Sensitive Data Protection now supports Azure Blob Storage. You can run discovery to generate data profiles of your Blob Storage containers. Data profiles provide metrics and insights about the sensitivity and risk levels of your data to help you plan your data protection and governance workflows.

This feature is available only to Security Command Center Enterprise customers. To use this feature, you need an Azure connector in Security Command Center that has permissions for Sensitive Data Protection discovery.

To get started on profiling Blob Storage data, see the following:

Spanner

Manually adding split points to your Spanner database is now generally available. Spanner automatically splits, or partitions, data in response to traffic changes to spread load across all available resources in an instance. For large, anticipated traffic changes, such as for a product launch, you can now pre-split the database with split boundaries that represent future traffic. This warmup can yield significant performance benefits for large scaling events.

For more information about configuring split points for your database, see Pre-splitting overview.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL Bigtable

Bigtable is supported by Database Center, which is generally available (GA). The Database Center now provides performance, availability, and data protection in the form of recommender-related health issues. You can also view these performance recommendations in Recommendation Hub.

Cloud Load Balancing

Starting April 28, 2025, the Global external Application Load Balancer and the Classic Application Load Balancer will no longer allow the use of custom request headers that reference connection-specific hop-by-hop headers.

This change applies only to HTTP/1.1 traffic. Connection-specific hop-by-hop headers are already disallowed by the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocols.

This change is in accordance with RFC 2616 which states that these connection-specific hop-by-hop headers headers are meaningful only for a single transport-level connection and should not be forwarded by proxies.

The impacted hop-by-hop headers are: Connection, Keep-Alive, TE, Trailer, Transfer-Encoding, and Upgrade.

Starting April 28, 2025, connection-specific hop-by-hop headers that were configured by using custom headers will no longer be applied. These headers will only be set by the load balancer during normal connection handling.

Starting June 30, 2025, any configuration changes that reference the connection-specific hop-by-hop custom headers will no longer be accepted.

What you need to do

If you are an HTTP/1.1 user affected by this change, complete the following steps:

  1. Determine if your application depends on the values of any hop-by-hop headers configured as custom headers. If any dependencies are found, replace them with an allowed custom header and modify your application accordingly.

  2. Review your backend service and URL map headerAction configuration to remove any references to connection-specific hop-by-hop headers.

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal

Release 1.31.400-gke.110

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.31.400-gke.110 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade a cluster or a node pool. Google Distributed Cloud 1.31.400-gke.110 runs on Kubernetes v1.31.7-gke.800.

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.

The following functional change was made in 1.31.400-gke.110:

  • Updated the cluster upgrade operation to keep only the three latest kubeadm backups of etcd and configuration information for a node. Previously, kubeadm kept node backups for every attempted upgrade.

  • Upgraded etcd to v3.4.33-0-gke.3.

The following fixes were made in 1.31.400-gke.110:

  • Fixed an issue where network interfaces were being leaked, preventing namespace deletion.

  • Fixed an issue that resulted in an excessive creation of periodic kube-proxy-cleanup jobs on cluster nodes with high pod utilization.

  • Fixed an issue that caused cluster creation to fail because kubelet restarted before required static pods are running.

  • Fixed an issue that allowed bmctl reset to run in situations where the reset resulted in the loss of quorum for control plane nodes. To run the command without enforcing the quorum, use the newly added --bypass-quorum-check flag.

The 1.31.400-gke.110 release includes many vulnerability fixes. For a list of all vulnerabilities fixed in this release, see Vulnerability fixes.

Backup and DR

There is a new committed use discount (CUD) for customers using Backup and DR Service to protect Oracle databases into a backup vault. This is a way to lower backup costs in consideration of a 1-year or 3-year commitment. You can purchase CUDs from Google Cloud Marketplace via the standard process.

Introduced logging and alerting capabilities to monitor the health and status of your backup/recovery appliances. You can configure email notifications via Cloud Logging to receive timely alerts on appliance status changes or potential issues.

Backup and DR Service now supports backup and restore of Db2 databases using persistent disk snapshots. This is typically faster and simpler than previous methods and in some cases may also reduce costs.

These issues have been fixed:

  • An issue in which multiple snapshot/Direct OnVault jobs became stuck in an unresponsive state after attempting to connect to vCenter with an openssl command.
  • An issue in which database persistent disk snapshot backup jobs failed with the unhelpful error message resource not found now has a useful error message.
  • An issue in which Log explorer was showing some spurious "read error, check permissions" results on backup/recovery appliances.
  • An issue in which a backup/recovery appliance could come out of synchronization with a management console following a Trying to release lock or Failed to acquire lock error.
  • A rare issue in which a backup/recovery appliance became unresponsive after a very heavy load exhausted all job threads and /var/log/ was 100% full. Thread management is now more efficient.
  • An issue in which persistent disk database snapshot images were failing to import log backups, and the recovery range was missing on imported backups.
  • An issue in which some backups of PostgreSQL version 15 failed due to a premature timeout.
  • An issue in which some mount jobs failed if the host's lvmconfig has global/system_id_source set to uname.
  • An issue in which database names provided in mount screen were not honored correctly when creating child applications on the target host.
  • The Staging disk is full error message has been made more useful.

Vulnerabilities CVE-2024-42301, CVE-2024-42284, and CVE-2024-41092 have been fixed at kernel version 4.18.0-553.33.1.el8_10.

Introduced management console events for the Appliance Connectivity Events and Dynamic Protection Events.

  • Access Transparency
  • Cloud Tasks
  • Cloud OS Login API
  • Eventarc
  • Firebase Security Rules
  • Generative AI on Vertex AI
BigQuery

You can now use BigQuery DataFrames version 2.0, which makes security and performance improvements to the BigQuery DataFrames API, adds new features, and introduces breaking changes.

You can use partial ordering mode in BigQuery DataFrames to generate efficient queries. This feature is generally available (GA).

Cloud Composer

Airflow 2.10.5 is available in Cloud Composer.

Database retention policy is now enabled by default in Google Cloud console and remains disabled in Google Cloud CLI, API, and Terraform.

This feature helps to maintain the Airflow database size. You can enable or disable the database retention policy or adjust the retention period for new and existing environments.

The default environment's service account setting is gradually removed in Cloud Composer. After the change, you'll need to explicitly specify a service account when you create a new Cloud Composer environment. For more information about addressing the change, see the eariler announcement of this change.

In this release, the change is rolling out to the following regions: africa-south1, asia-northeast2, asia-south2, australia-southeast2, europe-north2, europe-southwest1, europe-west8, europe-west10, europe-west12, me-central1, me-central2, me-west1, northamerica-northeast2, northamerica-south1, southamerica-west1, us-east7, and us-south1. It will be rolled out to more regions in future releases.

Cloud Composer 2 environments now always use the environment's service account for performing PyPI packages installations:

  • Existing Cloud Composer 2 environments that previously used the default Cloud Build service account now use the environment's service account instead.
  • Cloud Composer 2 environments created in versions 2.10.2 and later already have this change.
  • Cloud Composer 3 environments already use the environment's service account, and are not affected by this change.
  • This change is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer 2.

Cloud Composer now detects situations when asynchronous tasks are blocked in Airflow triggerers. If a trigger's execution is blocked for more than five minutes, Cloud Composer restarts the triggerer, which solves this transient issue.

(Cloud Composer 3) Key Access Justifications now correctly works for Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK).

The bucket synchronization process doesn't fail if the /plugins folder isn't available in the environment's bucket.

(Cloud Composer 3) It's now possible to override the default scopes of access tokens. Before the fix, the scope always defaulted to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email. This resulted in authentication failures when accessing non-Google Cloud services.

The change is gradually rolled out to the following regions: africa-south1, asia-south2, australia-southeast2, europe-north2, europe-west3, europe-west10, europe-west12, northamerica-south1, southamerica-west1, us-east7, and us-south1. It will be rolled out to more regions in future releases.

New Airflow builds are available in Cloud Composer 3:

  • composer-3-airflow-2.10.5-build.0
  • composer-3-airflow-2.10.2-build.13 (default)
  • composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.20

Apigee hybrid

hybrid 1.11.2-hotfix.3

On April 14, 2025 we released an updated version of the Apigee hybrid software, 1.11.2-hotfix.3.

Apply this hotfix with the following steps:

  1. In your overrides file, update the image.url and image.tag properties of ao and runtime: 

    runtime:
  image:
    url: "gcr.io/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-runtime"
    tag: "1.11.2-hotfix.3"

  2. Install the hotfix release:

    • For Helm-managed releases, update the apigee-env chart with the helm upgrade command and your current overrides files:

      For each environment in your Apigee org:

      helm upgrade ENV_RELEASE_NAME apigee-env/ \
  --namespace APIGEE_NAMESPACE \
  --set env=ENV_NAME \
  --atomic \
  -f OVERRIDES_FILE
      • ENV_RELEASE_NAME is a name used to keep track of installation and upgrades of the apigee-env chart. This name must be unique from the other Helm release names in your installation. Usually this is the same as ENV_NAME. However, if your environment has the same name as your environment group, you must use different release names for the environment and environment group, for example dev-env-release and dev-envgroup-release. For more information on releases in Helm, see Three big concepts in the Helm documentation.
      • APIGEE_NAMESPACE is your installation's namespace. The default is apigee.
      • ENV_NAME is the name of the environment you are upgrading.
      • OVERRIDES_FILE is your edited overrides file.

    • For apigeectl-managed releases:

      1. Install the hotfix release with apigeectl init using your updated overrides file: 

        ${APIGEECTL_HOME}/apigeectl init -f OVERRIDES_FILE --dry-run=client

        Followed by:

        ${APIGEECTL_HOME}/apigeectl init -f OVERRIDES_FILE

      2. Apply the hotfix release with apigeectl apply: 

        ${APIGEECTL_HOME}/apigeectl apply -f OVERRIDES_FILE --all-envs --dry-run=client

        Followed by:

        ${APIGEECTL_HOME}/apigeectl apply -f OVERRIDES_FILE --all-envs

Stricter class instantiation checks included in this release.

JavaCallout policy now includes additional security during Java class instantiation. The enhanced security measure prevents the deployment of policies that directly or indirectly attempt actions that require permissions that are not allowed.

In most cases, existing policies will continue to function as expected without any issues. However, there is a possibility that policies relying on third-party libraries, or those with custom code that indirectly triggers operations requiring elevated permissions, could be affected.

To test your installation, follow the procedure in Validate policies after upgrade to 1.11.2-hotfix.3 to validate policy behavior.

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.30.800-gke.66 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade a cluster or a node pool. Google Distributed Cloud 1.30.800-gke.66 runs on Kubernetes v1.30.11-gke.500.

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.

The following functional change was made in 1.30.800-gke.66:

  • Removed support in the Konnectivity server (konnectivity-server) for the following weak cryptographic cipher suites: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.

Fixed an issue that prevented user cluster upgrades when Dataplane V2 was explicitly configured with forward mode.

As a workaround, when you create a new Cloud Composer 3 environment or upgrade an existing environment, provide at least 1 CPU to the Airflow web server.

This issue currently affects composer-3-airflow-2.10.2-build.12 and composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.19 Airflow builds.

  • The responsive report layout scales well across many different screen sizes. Choose this layout if you expect your users to regularly view the report on a tablet or other mobile device.

Query results variables

Query result variables let you insert data directly into text elements.You can choose a cell from a table as a "query result" to insert into a text element, and Looker Studio will keep the result up to date.

YouTube Connector update

On March 31, 2025, YouTube changed the way views are calculated. Learn more about this change.

Manufacturing Data Engine

Release 1.5.0

This release is not a critical update, unless you are directly impacted by the bug fixes, you don't need to update, and you can wait for future releases before updating.

  • Metadata Versioning: To enhance the query readability of the metadata instances, MDE v1.5.0 introduced a new field called validFrom that designates the time when a particular metadata instance is effective. MDE uses this field to check which metadata instance picks based on the source message event time, not processing time, enabling accurate historical data representation. For more information, see Versioning metadata buckets.
  • Configuration Packages: Introduces a file-based configuration package system for atomic deployments and GitOps integration. For more information, see Upload configuration package and File content.
  • Development Mode: Adds a "Development Mode" to allow deletion of MDE entities and configuration packages, use with caution. For more information, see Development mode.

Spanner now supports the following PostgreSQL JSONB mutator functions:

  • jsonb_insert()
  • jsonb_set()
  • jsonb_set_lax()
  • jsonb_strip_nulls()

Spanner also supports the following PostgreSQL JSONB operators:

  • concat: jsonb || jsonb -> jsonb
  • delete: jsonb - text -> jsonb

For more information, see JSON functions in GoogleSQL and Supported PostgreSQL functions.

The GoogleSQL JSON_KEYS and PostgreSQL json_object_keys functions, which extract unique JSON keys from a JSON expression, are generally available.

JSON search indexes are generally available in Spanner. This extension of Spanner's full-text index capabilities accelerates many JSON document queries, even without prior knowledge of the documents' structure. You can create search indexes over any JSON document stored in a JSON column. The JSON_CONTAINS function in GoogleSQL and the @> and <@ operators in PostgreSQL can use search indexes to determine if one document structure is contained in another. Search indexing supports JSON types in GoogleSQL-dialect databases and JSONB in PostgreSQL-dialect databases. For more information, see JSON search indexes.

Apigee X

On March 24, 2025, we released an updated version of Apigee.

Apigee Spaces is now generally available (GA) for use in Apigee organizations.

Apigee Spaces enables identity-based isolation and grouping of API resources within an Apigee organization. With Apigee Spaces, you can have granular IAM control over access to your API proxies, shared flows, and API products.

Spaces also provide the option of resource isolation at a team level, providing a clear separation of resources associated with different teams operating within the same Apigee organization. IAM policies can be applied at the Space level, eliminating the need to manage permissions individually for every API proxy, shared flow, and API product.

Spaces are a brand new resource type with resource-level permissions. This means that Space permissions are not subject to the 64k limitation for project-level IAM conditions. Each space has its own 64k limit.

To learn more, see Apigee Spaces overview.

Google Kubernetes Engine

In GKE version 1.32.2-gke.1652000 and later, new external LoadBalancer Services use zonal Network Endpoint Group (NEG) backends by default. This applies only to new backend service-based external LoadBalancer Services. Existing LoadBalancer Services are not affected. To learn more, see Create a backend service-based external load balancer.

All GKE clusters now export four new rollup metrics by default at no additional charge. These new metrics are for monitoring GKE TPU NodePools and JobSets:

  • kubernetes.io/node_pool/accelerator/times_to_recover: Distribution of recovery period durations. Each sample indicates a single recovery operation for the NodePool to recover from a downtime period. The data is sampled within 60s after the completion of NodePool recovery, and emitted within 24h. This metric does not include a sample for downtime period longer than 7 days. This metric is only applicable for GKE multi-host TPU node pools.

  • kubernetes.io/jobset/times_between_interruptions: Distribution of times between the end of last interruption and beginning of current interruption for a JobSet. Each sample indicates a single duration between last and current interruption. The data is sampled within 60s after the current interruption starts, and emitted within 24h. The metric does not include a sample for duration between interruptions longer than 7 days. This metric is only applicable for JobSets running on nodes with GPU/TPU and having a single replicated job.

  • kubernetes.io/jobset/times_to_recover: Distribution of recovery period durations. Each sample indicates a single recovery operation for the JobSet to recover from a downtime period. The data is sampled within 60s after the completion of JobSet recovery, and emitted within 24h. This metric does not include samples for downtime periods longer than 7 days. This metric is only applicable for JobSets running on nodes with GPU/TPU and having a single replicated job.

  • kubernetes.io/jobset/uptime: Total time the JobSet has been available. The data is sampled every 60s and emitted within 24h after sampling. This metric is only applicable for JobSets running on nodes with GPU/TPU and having a single replicated job.

Starting in GKE version 1.32.1-gke.1729000, Autopilot clusters will automatically use the new Performance HPA Profile. This new profile enables faster autoscaling on CPU and Memory metrics for up to 1,000 HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects by routing autoscaling metrics through the gke-metrics-agent Daemonset. If desired, users can revert to the old autoscaling profile by disabling the Peformance HPA Profile.

Partner connection launch update

The following partner connectors have been added to the Looker Studio Connector Gallery:

Oracle Database@Google Cloud Security Command Center

The Risk section of the SecOps console has been updated for Security Command Center Enterprise, introducing the following features in Preview:

  • Issues are the most important security risks Security Command Center Enterprise has found in your cloud environments. Sourced from Security Command Center's virtual red teaming and security graph, issues give you all the details you need to understand, triage, and remediate a risk. Explore attack path diagrams, attack exposure scores, exposed resources, related findings, and whether multiple issues exist on a primary resource, all from the one place.
  • Security graph is a graph database that has cloud resources like assets, identities, apps, and data assigned to its nodes, while the edges of the graph determine the risk relationship between those resources following detection rules. When a relationship risk is discovered, the security graph generates an issue.
  • Chokepoints are critical severity issues that focus on common resources or resource groups where multiple attack paths converge. Because of this focus on a common point, resolving a chokepoint can resolve other issues too, like toxic combinations.

The Risk Overview dashboard has also been updated, and a new Issues page added to the Risk section. You can navigate through different security domains in the Risk section using the tabs near the top of the page, such as All risk, Vulnerabilities, and Code.

Vertex AI Workbench

Cloud Data Fusion

Cloud Data Fusion version 6.11.0 is available in Preview.

You can view instance metrics and pipeline metrics in Cloud Monitoring and in the dashboard provided by Cloud Data Fusion. For more information, see Metrics overview and Monitor Cloud Data Fusion system, instance, and pipeline health.

You can view instance logs and pipeline logs in Cloud Logging, and in the dashboard provided by Cloud Data Fusion. For more information, see View Cloud Data Fusion logs.

When a pipeline run fails, you can retrieve detailed error information on the pipeline details page of the Cloud Data Fusion web interface.

Cloud Data Fusion classifies pipeline errors by category, reason, and message. This classification speeds up resolution and reduces the need to examine complex logs. For more information, see Retrieve error information for a failed pipeline run.

Cloud Data Fusion 6.11.0 offers high availability with reduced upgrade downtime.

Changes in Cloud Data Fusion 6.11.0:

  • To create ephemeral clusters, Cloud Data Fusion uses the Dataproc 2.2 image by default. For more information about its limitations in Cloud Data Fusion, see Change the Dataproc image to version 2.1.

  • The maximum concurrent runs limit for triggers is displayed in the console (CDAP-21072).

  • Added support for destination table write preference in the BigQuery Execute plugin (PLUGIN-1438).

Fixed in Cloud Data Fusion 6.11.0:

  • Fixed a null pointer exception in the BigQuery multi-sink plugin when used without a reference name (PLUGIN-1843).

  • Fixed Joiner plugin failures observed on Dataproc 2.2-debian12 instances (CDAP-21075).

  • Fixed an issue that prevented pipelines from accepting empty input in Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage source plugins (PLUGIN-1742).

  • Fixed an issue in RBAC-enabled instances where the pipeline details page displayed an incorrect author name (CDAP-21069).

A soft limit of 2 MB for pipeline JSON size is introduced in 6.11.0. Pipelines exceeding this size might encounter deployment failures.

The following APIs for searching and querying metrics are deprecated in 6.11.0:

  • POST v3/metrics/query
  • POST v3/metrics/search

The following APIs for downloading system service and pipeline run logs are deprecated in 6.11.0:

  • GET /v3/namespaces/<NAMESPACE_ID>/apps/<APP_ID>/<PROGRAM_TYPE>/<PROGRAM_ID>/logs
  • GET /v3/system/services/<SERVICE_ID>/logs

The ability to retrieve all applications without pagination using the GET /v3/namespaces/<NAMESPACE_ID>/apps endpoint is deprecated in 6.11.0.

Cloud Load Balancing

Google Cloud periodically renews Google-managed certificates by requesting them from certificate authorities (CAs). Certificate authorities verify domain control by checking DNS settings of the domain and in case of load balancer authorization attempting to contact the server behind the domain's IP address. The CAs that Google Cloud works with have introduced a verification method called Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration, that is becoming mandatory for all public CAs and that consists in performing the verification from multiple locations in the world. As a result, if DNS settings do not correctly and consistently resolve from all locations, the validation fails and Google-managed certificates will fail to renew.

To learn more about preventing multi-perspective domain validation failures for misconfigured DNS records, see Multi-perspective domain validation.

Cloud Monitoring

You can now enable and disable uptime-checks by using the disabled field in the Cloud Monitoring API.

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Cloud SQL for SQL Server supports transparent data encryption (TDE) to encrypt data stored in your Cloud SQL for SQL Server instances.

TDE automatically encrypts data before it is written to storage, and automatically decrypts data when the data is read from storage.

TDE provides another layer of encryption in addition to Google's default offering of encryption for data at rest and Google's optional offering of customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). TDE helps you meet regulatory compliance requirements and supports import or export operations of TDE encrypted backups. For more information, see About transparent data encryption.
