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.

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.

Apigee hybrid

hybrid 1.14.2-hotfix.1

On May 16, 2025 we released an updated version of the Apigee hybrid software, 1.14.2-hotfix.1.

Apply this hotfix with the following steps:

  1. Download the apigee-org and apigee-env charts with the 1.14.2-hotfix.1 version tag:

    export CHART_REPO=oci://us-docker.pkg.dev/apigee-release/apigee-hybrid-helm-charts
export CHART_VERSION=1.14.2-hotfix.1
helm pull $CHART_REPO/apigee-env --version $CHART_VERSION --untar
helm pull $CHART_REPO/apigee-org --version $CHART_VERSION --untar

  2. Optional: Perform this step if you need to allow use of the allOf combinator along with setting additionalProperties: true in your OAS spec. See fixed bug 393615439.

    Add the following stanza to your overrides.yaml:

    runtime:
  cwcAppend:
    conf_message-processor-communication_oas.disable.resolve.combinator: true

  3. Install the hotfix release:

    1. Update the apigee-env chart with the helm upgrade command and your current overrides file for each environment in your Apigee org:

      Dry run:

      helm upgrade ENV_RELEASE_NAME apigee-env/ \
--namespace APIGEE_NAMESPACE \
--set env=ENV_NAME \
--atomic \
-f OVERRIDES_FILE \
--dry-run=server
      • 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.

      Install the changes:

      helm upgrade ENV_RELEASE_NAME apigee-env/ \
--namespace APIGEE_NAMESPACE \
--set env=ENV_NAME \
--atomic \
-f OVERRIDES_FILE

    2. Update the apigee-org chart:

      Dry run:

      helm upgrade ORG_NAME apigee-org/ \
--namespace APIGEE_NAMESPACE \
-f OVERRIDES_FILE \
--dry-run=server

      Install the changes:

      helm upgrade ORG_NAME apigee-org/ \
--namespace APIGEE_NAMESPACE \
-f OVERRIDES_FILE

  4. Verify the installation:

    Ensure runtime and udca pods are up and running by checking their state:

    kubectl -n APIGEE_NAMESPACE get pods -l app=apigee-runtime
     
    kubectl -n APIGEE_NAMESPACE get pods -l app=apigee-udca

Bug ID Description
393615439 OASValidation behavior for allOf with additionalProperties: true.

Issue

The OASValidation policy in Apigee Hybrid versions 1.12 and later may incorrectly reject requests when validating against an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) that uses combinator keywords (allOf, oneOf, anyOf) and allows additional properties (additionalProperties: true) within the combined schema. This occurs because the default behavior resolves combinators into an aggregated schema before validation, but an underlying issue in the parser library can cause the additionalProperties definition to be handled incorrectly during this resolution. This behavior differs from Apigee Edge and older Apigee Hybrid versions.

Resolution

A configuration flag has been introduced to control this behavior. By setting this flag, you can disable the pre-validation combinator resolution step, reverting to the behavior consistent with Apigee Edge and older Hybrid versions.

Validation errors in Apigee hybrid

If you encounter the validation errors described above, particularly for specs that worked correctly in Apigee Edge or Hybrid versions prior to 1.12, you can revert to the previous validation behavior by setting the following flag for the apigee-runtime container: 

conf_message-processor-communication_oas.disable.resolve.combinator = true
Bug ID Description
N/A Incorporated an updated base image for stackdriver-logging-agent, improving the overall security of the service.
This addresses the following vulnerabilities (among others and not limited to):
Cloud Load Balancing

A security vulnerability was detected in the classic Application Load Balancer service prior to April 26, 2025.

CVE-2025-4600 allowed attackers to smuggle requests to classic Application Load Balancers due to incorrect parsing of oversized chunk bodies. This vulnerability was addressed within the classic Application Load Balancer service on April 26, 2025 through improved input validation and parsing logic.

No action is needed. For more information, see the GCP-2025-027 security bulletin.

Cloud Translation

The latency and quality of Translation LLM has been improved.

Translation LLM now supports even more languages.
See our documentation for a list of all supported languages.

User experience change:

  • The QM Integration dialog at Settings > Developer Settings > Session Data Export > QM Integration has a new QM Chat Events - send chat sessions events checkbox.

Remove email subjects from interaction data

We now support removing email subjects when you delete interaction data from your instance for specified end-users. The email subjects are removed when you delete data for an end-user in the Consumer Privacy dialog at Settings > Consumer Management > Consumer Privacy. To completely remove an end-user's data, you must also delete their emails from your mail server. You must also delete chat transcripts, call recordings, and other session-related files from your CRM or external storage, depending on your configuration.

New sender email with auto-response emails

You can now configure an outbound-only email address and use it as the sender address for auto-response emails. The outbound-only address is a "no-reply" email address that prevents the receiver from respondiing.

User experience changes:

  • The Auto-response dialog at Settings > Queue > Email > [your-email-queue] > Auto-response has a new Sender email field.
  • The Add an email dialog at Settings > Developer Settings > Email Account Management > Email account list > Add email account has a new This is an outbound only email account checkbox.

  • Fixed an issue where the setup dialog for Find an account by query endpoint could not be reached due to an authentication error when configuring OAuth for a custom CRM.
  • Fixed an issue where calls were being passed to a custom CRM with the incorrect phone number format.
  • Fixed an issue for ServiceNow users where records were created for outbound calls despite the agent selecting Do not create a record in the call adapter.
  • Fixed an issue where a queue did not have access to the global contact list even though it was configured to have access to it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Directory tab didn't appear when an agent was transferring a call.
  • Fixed an issue where the Voice Campaign checkbox didn't appear for Select Call Types in the Create Reports pane, despite the user having the appropriate report access permissions.
  • Fixed an issue where agent extension deflection recordings didn't upload after appearing to be successfully uploaded.
  • Fixed an issue that occurred when the @{NEXT_REOPEN_HOUR} dynamic variable was put in the Message field for After Hour Messaging in the Web & Mobile Messages pane. The variable always resolved as the next time the chat queue opened on the following day. This happened even when the next time the chat queue opened was on the current day.
  • Fixed an issue that occurred when an end-user on the global contact list placed an inbound call to a queue with access to the global contact list turned off. The agent adapter displayed the destination name of the caller, despite access to the global contact list being turned off.

Vector indexes support the TreeAH index type, which uses Google's ScaNN algorithm. The TreeAH index is optimized for efficient batch processing, capable of handling anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of embeddings at once. This feature is generally available (GA).

Cloud Composer

A new Cloud Composer release has started on May 14, 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.

It is now possible to migrate from Cloud Composer 1 to Cloud Composer 3 using snapshots in all regions supported by Cloud Composer 3. The gradual rollout of this feature is finished.

It is now possible to restart the Airflow web server through Cloud Composer API by using the RestartWebServer method.

The default value of the [scheduler]max_tis_per_query Airflow configuration option is set to 128. This change fixes the issue with DAGs remaining in the scheduled state in some cases.

Cloud Composer 3 and Cloud Composer 2 no longer support files with gzip encoding (content-type=gzip).

Before this change, all files that had gzip encoding, including .py and .zip files, were processed inconsistently by the DAG processor. After this change, the DAG processor skips all files with gzip encoding. This change doesn't apply to regular .zip archives. Airflow still decompresses and processes DAG files contained in archives that have no specified encoding.

This change is gradually rolled out to all regions supported by Cloud Composer, except us-central1, us-east4 and europe-west1. It will be rolled out to the remaining regions in one of the future releases.

(Cloud Composer 3) Fixed an issue where the Airflow scheduler failed to initialize and work properly if a custom email backend was enabled. The Airflow scheduler now supports the following email backends:

  • airflow.providers.sendgrid.utils.emailer.send_email
  • airflow.utils.email.send_email_smtp

This issue affected only the Airflow scheduler. Airflow workers already support these and other backends. If you use an email backend that isn't supported by the scheduler, you can still send email from Airflow workers.

(Cloud Composer 3) Improved the computation of metrics related to snapshots. This change reduces the number of calls made by Cloud Composer to the Cloud Storage API.

(Cloud Composer 2) In Cloud Composer versions 2.11.5 and later, log processing is switching to using OpenTelemetry instead of Fluentd.

This change is gradually rolled out to the asia-south1 and africa-south1 regions. It will be rolled out to more regions in future releases. New and upgraded Cloud Composer 2 environments in the listed regions will get this change.

(Airflow 2.9.3) 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 2.9.3) 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.
  • pyjwt was downgraded to 2.9.0 from 2.10.1.

New Airflow builds are available in Cloud Composer 3:

  • composer-3-airflow-2.10.5-build.3 (default)
  • composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.23

New images are available in Cloud Composer 2:

  • composer-2.13.1-airflow-2.10.5 (default)
  • composer-2.13.1-airflow-2.10.2

Cloud Composer version 2.8.0 has reached its end of support period.

Cloud Load Balancing

Global and cross-region load balancers now support enabling traffic isolation on the service load balancing policy. By default, these load balancers use the WATERFALL_BY_REGION algorithm which allows traffic overflow to other regions when backends in the region closest to the user are either full or unhealthy. Enabling traffic isolation lets the load balancer route traffic only to the region closest to the user, even if all the backends in that region are running at their configured capacity limit. You can also choose to prevent traffic overflow entirely by enabling this feature in STRICT mode.

For details, see Traffic isolation.

This feature is in Preview.

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Cloud SQL for SQL Server now supports TLS connections to Active Directory endpoints without requiring server certificate trust or the use of IP addresses. Existing server certificates will need to be rotated to use this feature.

Cortex Framework

Release 6.3.1

  • A dedicated Cortex-specific Cloud Build Service Account will now be automatically created during the deployment process for both the standard Quickstart demo and the Cortex for Meridian Quickstart demo.
  • When executing gcloud builds submit command for Cortex Framework deployments, the _BUILD_ACCOUNT parameter is now required. If you are updating an existing deployment, ensure you provide the appropriate build account in the following format: _BUILD_ACCOUNT='projects/SOURCE_PROJECT/serviceAccounts/SERVICE_ACCOUNT@SOURCE_PROJECT.iam.gserviceaccount.com'.
  • Resolved inconsistencies between the standard and Cortex for Meridian Quickstart demos related to Cloud Build Service Account behavior.
  • The Quickstart demo now automatically enables the Data Catalog API during its execution.
  • Oracle builds may time out when using a private worker pool created with default parameters.
Gemini Code Assist

Create custom commands

You can now configure and use custom commands with IntelliJ Gemini Code Assist (version 1.15.0). Create, save, and execute your own pre-configured prompts to perform repetitive tasks faster and more easily in the IDE.

To view the custom commands settings, go to Settings > Tools > Gemini > Prompt Library.

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

The Code Interpreter in Conversational Analytics is now available in Preview. The Code Interpreter translates your natural language questions into Python code and executes that code to provide advanced analysis and visualizations. The Code Interpreter is disabled by default. Admins of Looker (original) instances can manage enablement for the Code Interpreter on the Gemini in Looker admin page. (This release note was added on May 19, 2025.)

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.

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.

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.

  • 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 that provides diagnostics information related to the login flow. This makes it easier to troubleshoot login and OIDC configuration issues. For more information, 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

Installing Policy Controller through the ConfigManagement API is no longer supported. For instructions installing Policy Controller, see Installing Policy Controller. For instructions migrating existing Policy Controller instances, see Migrate from the ConfigManagement API to the PolicyController API. This note was added on May 16, 2025.

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 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.

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:

To enable and activate Gemini in Colab Enterprise features, see Set up Gemini in Colab Enterprise.

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.

April 27, 2025

Google SecOps SOAR

Release 6.3.43 is now available for all regions.

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 VMware

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.

Upgraded etcd to v3.4.33-0-gke.3.

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

The 1.31.400-gke.110 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 1.31.400-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.

Anti Money Laundering AI

New minor engine versions released for retail and commercial lines of business within the v004 tuning version. These extend support for the major version and include no significant changes versus the previous minor versions.

Assured Workloads

The CJIS control package now supports the following products:

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

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

New images are available in Cloud Composer 2:

  • composer-2.12.1-airflow-2.10.5
  • composer-2.12.1-airflow-2.10.2 (default)
  • composer-2.12.1-airflow-2.9.3

Support dates for previous Cloud Composer 3 builds are available. All Cloud Composer 3 builds with Airflow 2.10.2 are supported until April 17, 2026.

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.

AlloyDB Omni

AlloyDB Omni is in General Availability on the Aiven Platform. Aiven provides managed AlloyDB Omni as a service on multiple public clouds. For more information, see Store your data on any major cloud.

The alloydb_scann extension is updated to include the following vector search improvements. These features are generally available (GA):

  • Inline filtering enables the execution of vector search and filter evaluation through the combined use of vector and secondary indexes. For more information, see "Inline filtering" in the documentation for AlloyDB PostgreSQL and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

  • You can let AlloyDB automatically create multiple parallel workers during index creation when the dataset grows, leading to faster build times. For more information, see "Build indexes in parallel" in the documentation for AlloyDB PostgreSQL and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

  • A distribution histogram is available in the pg_stat_ann_indexes view, which helps you understand the distribution of vectors between partitions of your ScaNN index. For more information, including recommendations about tuning the distributionpercentile metric, see "Tuning metrics" in the documentation for AlloyDB PostgreSQL, and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

  • You can use a query recall evaluator to find the recall for a vector query for a given configuration, and to tune your parameters to achieve the desired vector query recall results for different vector indexes. For more information, see "Measure vector query recall" in the documentation for AlloyDB PostgreSQL, and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

The alloydb_scann extension is updated to include the following vector search improvements in (Preview):

  • You can enable auto-maintenance for your ScaNN index and let incrementally manage the index such that when your dataset grows, AlloyDB splits large outlier partitions, and tries to provide better QPS and search results. For more information, see "Maintain indexes automatically" in the documentation for AlloyDB PostgreSQL and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

  • Adaptive filtering for ScaNN significantly improves the speed of filtered vector searches. Adaptive filtering automatically selects the most efficient filtering method at runtime. For more information, see "Filtered vector search" and "Adaptive filtering" in the documentation for AlloyDB for PostgreSQL and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

  • You can enable index auto maintenance and adaptive inline filtering together using the scann.enable_preview_features Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameters. For more information, see "AlloyDB flags" for AlloyDB for PostgreSQL and AlloyDB Omni 15.7.1 and 16.3.0.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL supports a 1 virtual central processing unit (vCPU) configuration with 8GB of memory, which is suitable for development and sandbox environments. For information about 1 vCPU supported regions and limitations, see Considerations when using 1 vCPU. This feature is in Preview.

There are two new read-only flow variable suffixes available for accessing message content in base64-encoded form:

  • content.as.base64
  • content.as.url.safe.base64

These variable suffixes can be used with the request, response, and message objects, as well as with any Message object created implicitly during API proxy execution when using the AssignMessage or ServiceCallout policies.

For more information, see Flow variables reference.

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

Spanner now supports the following GoogleSQL JSON mutator functions:

  • JSON_ARRAY_APPEND()
  • JSON_ARRAY_INSERT()
  • JSON_REMOVE()
  • JSON_SET()
  • JSON_STRIP_NULLS()

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.
