GCP Release Notes: October 29, 2025

Apigee X

Announcement

On October 29, 2025, we released an updated version of Apigee.

Feature

Support for API-product scoped quotas

You can now set quotas at the API product level to limit the number of requests all API proxies in the API product can process within a specified time frame. See Configuring the quota policy to use API product quota settings for information and instructions.

NOTE: API product-scoped quotas are not supported in Apigee hybrid at this time.

BigQuery

Feature

You can now group reservations together to prioritize idle slot sharing within the group. Reservations within a reservation group share idle slots with each other before making them available to other reservations in the project, giving you more control over slot allocation for high-priority workloads. This feature is in Preview.

Cloud Load Balancing

Feature

You can specify a custom ephemeral /96 IPv6 address range when creating a regional IPv6 forwarding rule. For more information, see the following:

• Internal passthrough Network Load Balancer overview

This feature is in General availability.
