Cloud Data Fusion

Changed

The Oracle plugin version 1.12.3 is available in Cloud Data Fusion (via Hub) versions 6.11.0 and later, and 1.11.8 is available in Cloud Data Fusion (via Hub) version 6.10.

This release provides backward compatibility for recent schema changes, including the following:

To address backward compatibility for these changes, two new hidden fields are introduced in Oracle batch source configurations: treatPrecisionlessNumAsDeci and treatAsOldTimestamp. Both flags default to false. To enable these flags, edit the respective values in your exported connection JSON (if using connections) or pipeline JSON (if not using connections) before re-importing or re-deploying (PLUGIN-1893).

Cloud Run

Feature

You can disable the built-in run.app URL of a Cloud Run service to ensure that traffic can only ingress through paths that you’ve explicitly configured (GA).

(2025-R30) Version updates

GKE cluster versions have been updated.

New versions available for upgrades and new clusters.

The following Kubernetes versions are now available for new clusters and for
opt-in control plane upgrades and node upgrades for existing clusters. For more
information on versioning and upgrades, see GKE versioning and support
and Upgrades.

Rapid channel

Regular channel

Stable channel

Extended channel

No channel

Changed

To enable upcoming support for mTLS and client certificates, Google Front Ends
(GFEs) that power GKE DNS-based control plane public endpoints will add client
certificate requests during the TLS handshake. Requests are already incorporated
into GKE DNS-based control plane public endpoints where hostnames end with
us-central1.gke.goog. For all other GKE DNS-based control plane public
endpoints, this will roll out between August 18, 2025 and August 22, 2025.

Until mTLS and client certificate configuration options are available, the
following details apply:

  • A client certificate request in a TLS handshake doesn’t mean that kubectl
    (or other compatible clients) must provide a client certificate. Client
    certificates are neither mandatory nor configurable.
  • TLS libraries in current operating systems send a “no client certificate”
    response to the public endpoint’s client certificate request.
  • GKE DNS-based control plane public endpoints will not enforce client
    certificates or mTLS requirements until a future announcement about
    configuration options.

If you use an intermediate proxy between kubectl (or other compatible
clients) and a GKE DNS-based control plane public endpoint, ensure that it fully
adheres to
Section 7.4.4 of RFC 5246,
Section 4.4.2 of RFC 8446,
or
Section 4.4.2.4 of RFC 8446.
