Cloud Service Mesh
Changed
Managed Cloud Service Mesh will start using proxy version csm_mesh_proxy.20250623b_RC00 for Gateway API on GKE clusters. This proxy version maps closest to Envoy version 1.35. This change is rolling out to all release channels.
Compute Engine
Feature
Generally available: The general-purpose C4D machine series offers the following bare metal machine types:
c4d-standard-384-metalc4d-highcpu-384-metalc4d-highmem-384-metal
This is the first machine series to offer AMD-based bare metal instances. Bare metal instances let you create an instance with direct access to the machine’s CPU and memory, without a virtualization layer in the middle. C4D uses Titanium to deliver more compute and memory resources for your workloads by offloading network and I/O processing from the host hardware. To learn more, see C4D machine series. For information about bare metal instances, including regional availability, see Bare metal instances on Compute Engine.
