Google SecOps

Looker dashboard updates

The following changes have been made to the Looker dashboards in Google SecOps:

  • All dashboards have been moved to the ingestion_metrics_connector explore.

  • The ingestion_stats, ingestion_metric_with_ingestion_stats and ingestion_metrics explores are no longer supported.

  • The total_entry_number and total_size_bytes fields are defined in the new explore and used to query the log count and log volume for the Google SecOps Ingestion API. For more information, see the Ingestion metrics field reference for dashboards.

  • The default dashboards for Context aware detections risk and Cloud detection and response overview have been updated to use a different field for the risk score. It was rule_detections.outcomes['risk_score'] and is now rule_detections.risk_score. This change aligns the risk score in the Google SecOps dashboards to the risk score used in the Google SecOps user interface.

  • The severity field in the Rules and detections default Dashboard has been updated so that it would show the severity for both Curated Detections and custom rules.

Google SecOps SIEM

Looker Studio

Preview your data

The data source editor displays a preview of the data in your fields. This feature is available for the following data sources:

Warnings for external links

When users click an external link, Looker Studio displays a redirect notice.

Proportional heights for inverted triangle funnels

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

Improved hide/remove data source fields

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

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

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

Learn more about data governance in Looker Studio.

Apigee hybrid

hybrid v1.14.0

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

Enhanced Proxy Limits in Hybrid environments

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

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

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

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

Cassandra credential rotation

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

Enable and disable metrics-based scaling with customAutoscaling.enabled

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

New analytics and debug data pipeline for hybrid orgs

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

Forward Proxy allowlist access

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

Guardrails checks to ensure backups before upgrade

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

Looker Studio

Updated Admin Console setting

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

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

Learn more about this setting.

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

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

Cloud Composer

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

  • New Cloud Composer 2 environments created in versions 2.10.2 and later will have this change.
  • Currently, Cloud Composer 2 environments use the default Cloud Build service account if it exists (and the environment's service account if it doesn't).
  • Make sure to check the Cloud Build default service account change page for information about changes to the default Cloud Build service account.
  • Cloud Composer 3 environments already use the environment's service account, and are not impacted by this change.

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

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

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

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

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

New Airflow builds are available in Cloud Composer 3:

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

New images are available in Cloud Composer 2:

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

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

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

  • Fixed an issue that blocked user cluster create and upgrade operations to patch versions 1.30.100, 1.30.200, or 1.30.300. This issue applies only when kubectl or a GKE On-Prem API client (console, gcloud CLI, or Terraform) is used for user cluster creation and upgrades.

Looker

Starting on December 9, 2024, default permissions for OAuth authentication to BigQuery connections are limited to read-only for Looker instances on Looker 24.20+.

On March 1, 2025, Looker will sign out any users with read and write scopes from all corresponding BigQuery connections. This will cause any schedules dependent on these connections to fail. Each of these users will need to reauthorize their OAuth connection credentials in order to ensure uninterrupted schedule delivery. For more information, see the Restricting OAuth scope to read-only for Google BigQuery connections article.

Organization Policy Resource Manager Secret Manager

Parameter Manager, an extension to the Secret Manager service, is available in Preview. You can use Parameter Manager to store, access, and manage the lifecycle of your workload parameters. For more information, see Parameter Manager overview.

Sensitive Data Protection

The current default DATE_OF_BIRTH infoType detection model, which is available when InfoType.version is set to latest or stable, is now also used when InfoType.version is set to legacy.

The old detection model that was previously available by setting InfoType.version to legacy is no longer available.

December 05, 2024

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL

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

Anthos Config Management

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Certificate Manager

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

Cloud Composer

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

Vertex AI Agent Builder

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

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

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

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

This change should not remove any prior detections for customers who have enabled this rule pack and do not meet the licensing requirements but the rules themselves will now be unavailable and no new detections will generate.

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.

Cloud TPU

Creating a Multislice TPU environment is now available in the Google Cloud Console. You can use Multislice to run training jobs using multiple TPU slices within a single Pod or on slices in multiple Pods. You must use a queued resource request to create a Multislice environment. For more information, see Cloud TPU Multislice overview.

You can now request Cloud TPUs as queued resources in the Google Cloud Console. Queuing your request for TPU resources can help alleviate stockout issues. If the resources you request are not immediately available, your request is added to a queue until the request succeeds or you delete it. You can also specify a time range in which you want to fulfill the resource request. For more information, see Manage queued resources.

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).

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.

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.
