This addresses the following vulnerabilities:

Capacity Planner

Feature

Preview: Capacity Planner supports the following:

  • Usage data for the egress bandwidth of Cloud Storage buckets, which can help you monitor when to request more bandwidth.
  • Usage data for GPUs attached to Spot VMs, which can help you optimize your resource usage and plan for future capacity and quota needs.

For more information, see View usage and forecast data.

Cloud Asset Inventory

Feature

The following resource types are publicly available through the ExportAssets, ListAssets, BatchGetAssetsHistory, QueryAssets, Feed, SearchAllResources, and SearchAllIamPolicies APIs.

  • Bigtable
    • bigtableadmin.googleapis.com/LogicalView

Cloud Monitoring

Feature

You can use the Cloud Monitoring API MCP server to let agents and AI applications interact with your time series data. This feature is in Preview.

Feature

You can now ingest OTLP metrics into Cloud Monitoring by using an OpenTelemetry Collector, an OTLP exporter, and the Telemetry API. For more information, see OTLP metric ingestion overview. The Telemetry API for metric ingestion is in Preview.

Cloud Run

Feature

Expanded coverage for compute flexible committed use discounts (CUDs) is available to all Cloud Billing accounts. Your Cloud Billing accounts have been automatically migrated to the new spend-based CUD model and you no longer need to opt-in to benefit from the expanded coverage. For the full list of eligible SKUs across Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run, see SKU Groups – Compute Flexible CUD Eligible SKUs.

To learn more about compute flexible CUDs for Cloud Run and how they apply to your usage, see the compute flexible CUDs documentation.

Dataproc

Feature

Dataproc on Compute Engine: Sharing snapshot diagnostic data: Setting the --tarball-access=GOOGLE_DATAPROC_DIAGNOSE flag with the gcloud dataproc clusters diagnose command shares all of the output Cloud Storage bucket contents with Google Cloud support if uniform bucket-level access is enabled on the output Cloud Storage bucket. If object-level access control is enabled on the output Cloud Storage bucket, only the generated diagnostic tar file is shared.

Announcement

New Serverless for Apache Spark runtime versions:

  • 1.2.69
  • 2.2.69
  • 2.3.22
  • 3.0.5

Feature

Gemini Enterprise

Security

Gemini Enterprise: Security update

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1727

Vulnerability: Mitigation for Potential Cloud Storage Namespace Hijacking (“Bucket Squatting”)

Description: We have addressed a security vulnerability (CVE-2026-1727) in Gemini Enterprise related to the management of Cloud Storage bucket names. The issue, commonly known as “bucket squatting,” can arise if an attacker pre-emptively registers a bucket name that Gemini Enterprise services might be configured to use.

Potential impact: Exploitation of this vulnerability can let an attacker intercept, access, or manipulate data intended for a legitimate Gemini Enterprise-related Cloud Storage bucket.

Status: This vulnerability has been remediated in Gemini Enterprise. We have enhanced our systems to ensure the integrity and proper ownership of Cloud Storage resources used by the platform, which prevents this potential issue.

Action required: No action is required from users. The necessary fixes and safeguards have been automatically deployed to Gemini Enterprise.

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: Data connector for Linear (Public preview)

You can connect Linear data stores to Gemini Enterprise. For more information, see Connect Linear.

Support for Linear data sources is in Public preview.

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: Welcome emails

After a user signs in to Gemini Enterprise for the first time, the user receives a welcome email with tips on how to get the most out of Gemini Enterprise. Gemini Enterprise admins can turn this feature on or off from the admin settings.

For more information, see Manage web app features.

Looker

Deprecated

The DataRobot action is now deprecated. This action is no longer available in the Looker Action Hub.

NetApp Volumes

Feature

Google Cloud NetApp Volumes supports the all-squash feature for NFS exports. This option lets you enhance security by mapping all client user IDs to a single anonymous user ID (UID=65534). For more information, see User ID squashing.

Secure Source Manager

Feature

You can now connect to Secure Source Manager using Developer Connect.
