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.

You can now configure the mirrored backend service to receive only a percentage of the requests by using the mirrorPercent flag to specify the percentage of requests to be mirrored expressed as a value between 0 and 100.0.

For an example, see Set up traffic management for regional external Application Load Balancers.

This capability is available in Preview.

For details, see Plugins for Cloud Load Balancing.

Text-to-Speech

Studio Voices now support synthesis with multiple speakers to generate audios for interviews, interactive storytelling, video games, e-learning platforms, and accessibility solutions.

October 29, 2024

Cloud Load Balancing

All the Application Load Balancers, except the classic Application Load Balancer, now support stateful cookie-based session affinity. When you use stateful cookie-based affinity, the load balancer includes an HTTP cookie in the Set-Cookie header in response to the initial HTTP request. With stateful session affinity, customers can preserve stickiness to the selected backend.

For details, see Stateful cookie-based session affinity.

This capability is in General Availability.

Cloud Logging

You can now create and manage log scopes by using the Google Cloud CLI, in addition to using the Cloud Console and Terraform. Log scopes are in Public Preview. For more information, see

Cloud Storage

Data Access logs are now compatible with all authenticated browser downloads.

  • When an authenticated browser download occurs outside of the Google Cloud console, a resulting Data Access log has its principalEmail and callerIp fields redacted.
Google Kubernetes Engine

Three new metrics are added for measuring node and workload startup latency:

  • kubernetes.io/node/latencies/startup: The total startup latency of a node, from the GCE instance's CreationTimestamp to Kubernetes Node Ready for the first time.

  • kubernetes.io/pod/latencies/pod_first_ready: The Pod end-to-end startup latency (from Pod Created to Ready), including image pulls. This metric is available for clusters with GKE version 1.31.1-gke.1678000 or later.

  • kubernetes.io/autoscaler/latencies/per_hpa_recommendation_scale_latency_seconds: Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) scaling recommendation latency (the time between metrics being created and the corresponding scaling recommendation being applied to the API server) for the HPA target. This metric is available for clusters running the following versions or later:

    • 1.30.4-gke.1348001
    • 1.31.0-gke.1324000

Instance Group Managers for node pools created with version 1.30.5-gke.1523000 or later and 1.31.1-gke.1869000 or later will now have update on repair enabled by default. This will allow labels to persist upon Spot VM preemption.

Memorystore for Redis

Added support for the databases configuration. For more details, see the entry for databases in Supported Redis configurations.

Resource Manager

Organization Policy managed constraints are a set of constraints built on the custom organization policy platform. You can use managed constraints in place of certain predefined constraints to perform dry-run tests and simulate changes to your policies using Policy Intelligence tools. This feature is now in General Availability.

SAP on Google Cloud

BigQuery Connector for SAP version 2.8

Version 2.8 of the BigQuery Connector for SAP is generally available (GA).

Application Integration

Add failure policy (Generally available (GA))

You can now configure more complicated retry strategies for tasks, such as retries based on the error codes or the variable values during the execution:

  • Configure multiple ordered conditional failure policies for each task.
  • Configure a default failure policy that will be applied if no conditional failure policies matches.
  • Use system auto-generated variables in the failure policies. For example, ExecutionMode and ErrorInfo.

For more information, see Example for error handling.

Batch

Dynamic Workload Scheduler for Batch is available in Preview. We recommend using Dynamic Workload Scheduler to improve resource availability for jobs that run on A3 GPU VMs when you don't intend to use a reservation. For more information, see Create and run a job that uses GPUs.

Cloud Data Fusion

The Oracle plugin version 1.11.4 is available in Cloud Data Fusion versions 6.10.1 and later. This release includes the following change:

  • Fixed an issue causing pipelines with an Oracle sink that has date columns in the input schema to fail (PLUGIN-1812).
Cloud Load Balancing

To take advantage of the new features of the global external Application Load Balancer, you can now migrate your classic Application Load Balancer resources to the global external Application Load Balancer infrastructure.

To migrate to the global external Application Load Balancer, you change the load balancing scheme of your load balancing resources—specifically, the backend services and forwarding rules—from EXTERNAL to EXTERNAL_MANAGED. You can also rollback resources to the classic Application Load Balancer infrastructure, as long as you do so within 90 days of changing the load balancing scheme.

For more details on the migration process, see the following pages:

This capability is available in Preview.

Cloud Logging

You can now use tags to annotate your log buckets and use the tags to manage access to the log buckets. For more information, see Manage log buckets by using tags.

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.

Known issues:

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

Google Kubernetes Engine

You can now use NVIDIA H100 80GB GPUs on GKE in the following smaller machine types:

  • a3-highgpu-1g (1 GPU)
  • a3-highgpu-2g (2 GPUs)
  • a3-highgpu-4g (4 GPUs)

These machine types are available through Dynamic Workload Scheduler Flex Start mode, Spot VMs in GKE Standard mode clusters, or Spot Pods in GKE Autopilot mode clusters. You can only provision these machine types if there's available capacity in your region.

GKE continues to support the 8 GPU H100 80GB machine types: a3-highgpu-8g and a3-megagpu-8g.

The new release of the GKE Gateway controller (2024-R2) is now generally available. With this release, the GKE Gateway controller provides the following new capabilities:

Conformance:

To learn more about our GKE Gateway controller capabilities, see the supported capabilities per GatewayClass.

In GKE clusters with the control plane running version 1.29.1-gke.1425000 or later, TPU slice nodes support SIGTERM signals that alert the node of an imminent shutdown. The imminent shutdown notification is configurable up to five minutes in TPU nodes. To configure GKE to terminate your workloads gracefully within this notification timeframe, see Manage GKE node disruption for GPUs and TPUs.
