Feature

Starting with GKE version 1.33.1-gke.1231000, you can view
KubeRay Operator addon logs. These logs are available by default in
Cloud Logging when the Ray operator addon is enabled in GKE.
This integration helps you to monitor and debug the Ray Operator. Previously,
accessing these logs required more complex steps. To view the logs, navigate to
Cloud Logging Logs Explorer in the Google Cloud console and run a query to filter
for the Ray Operator logs for your specific cluster.

For more information, see View Ray Operator logs on GKE.

The Performance profile improves the reaction time, speed, and scalability of
the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. You can optionally
