Apigee Advanced API Security
Announcement
On August 25, 2025 we released an updated version of Advanced API Security
Note: Rollouts of this release to production instances will begin within two business days and may take four or more business days to complete across all Google Cloud zones. Your instances may not have the feature available until the rollout is complete.
Feature
Additional details and explanations for incidents and traffic identified as anomalous in Abuse Detection Advanced Anomaly Detection
Starting with this release, additional details are available for anomalies detected in incidents and detected traffic, including details on why traffic was flagged as anomalous, the days and times it triggered, time series charts showing anomalous traffic spikes, and direct links to the Google Cloud Logging for events.
See the Abuse detection "Details view" for more information.
BigQuery
Feature
You can use the ST_REGIONSTATS geography function to combine raster data using Earth Engine with your vector data stored in BigQuery. For more information, see Work with raster data and try the tutorial that shows you how to use raster data to analyze global temperature. This feature is generally available.
Feature
You can now use data insights to have Gemini generate table and column descriptions from table metadata. This feature is generally available (GA).

Features
Capacity Planner
Feature
Preview: You can use capacity requests to request a large number of resources for a future date and time, and across multiple regions or zones. When you use capacity requests, you get best-effort assurance for the capacity that Google Cloud provisions, and you only pay for resources when you use them. This approach helps ensure that your Google Cloud project has sufficient capacity to prevent resource availability errors during unexpected growth, without committing to pay for resources that you might not use.
For more information, see About capacity requests.

Network Connectivity Center
Feature
IPv4 and IPv6 address range filtering for VPC spokes is available in GA.
This feature lets you change IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges for VPC spokes that are exported to a hub.
Sensitive Data Protection
Feature
The DOCUMENT_TYPE/FINANCE/INVOICE and DOCUMENT_TYPE/MEDICAL/RECORD infoType detectors are available in global and the asia, europe, and us multi-regions. For more information about all infoTypes, see InfoType detector reference.
Spanner
Feature
You can now terminate multiple active queries in your Spanner instance. Active queries are long-running queries that might affect the performance of your instance. Monitoring these queries can help you identify causes of instance latency and high CPU usage. Terminating queries might help free up resources and reduce the load on your instance.
For more information, see Monitor active queries.
