Apigee API hub

Feature

API insights in API hub

API insights is now available in API hub, providing a unified view of your API traffic and performance across all connected gateways. With API insights, you can gain a holistic understanding of your API ecosystem’s health and quickly identify areas for optimization.

Currently, API insights supports data sources from Apigee, Apigee hybrid, Apigee Edge Public Cloud, and Apigee Edge Private Cloud (OPDK).

For more information, see API insights overview.

Feature

Detailed API resource insights

A new Insights tab is now available on the API details page, providing API-centric analytics to help you understand usage patterns and performance for each of your APIs.

You can now analyze key metrics such as total traffic, average TPS, request/response latencies, and more, directly from the API details page.

For more information, see View API resource insights.

BigQuery

Feature

The BigQuery Data Transfer Service can now transfer data from the following data sources:

Transfers from these data sources are now generally available (GA).

Feature

Subscriber email logging lets you log the principal identifiers of users who execute jobs and queries against linked datasets. You can enable logging at the listing level and the data exchange level. The logged data is available in the job_principal_subject field of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SHARED_DATASET_USAGE view. This feature is generally available.

Cloud Load Balancing

Feature

Application Load Balancers support authorization policies that let you establish access control checks for incoming traffic.

For details, see Authorization policy overview.

This feature is in General availability.

Feature

Both internal passthrough Network Load Balancers and external passthrough Network Load Balancers now support load balancing to managed instance groups (MIGs) comprised of IPv6-only VM instances.

For more details, see the following pages:

This feature is now in General availability.

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Feature

Cloud SQL has enhanced the optimized writes feature, which includes an improved crash recovery algorithm to reduce crash recovery time and utilizes unused disk I/O throughput adaptively to accelerate buffer pool warm-up. The optimized writes feature provides a set of write performance improvements that adjust MySQL configurations dynamically based on workload demand and underlying infrastructure.

By default these improvements are enabled for all new Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition instances that you create or that you upgrade to from Cloud SQL Enterprise edition.

For more information about optimized writes, see Configure database flags.

Compute Engine

Feature

Generally available: You can create managed instance groups (MIGs) comprised of IPv6-only VM instances.

For more information, see Basic scenarios for creating managed instance groups (MIGs).

Google Kubernetes Engine

Feature

Autoscaled blue-green upgrades are a type of node upgrade strategy that maximizes the amount of time before disruption-intolerant workloads are evicted, while minimizing cost. This feature is available in Preview for GKE Standard node pools. For more information, see Autoscaled blue-green upgrades.

Feature

You can use the G4 VM, powered by NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 6000 GPUs, with GKE Autopilot in version 1.34.1-gke.1829001 or later. To get started, see Deploy GPU workloads in Autopilot.

Google SecOps

Feature

Risk-based alerting with entity-only rules

With the new ENTITY_RISK_CHANGE UDM event type, you can now write YARA-L detection rules that trigger independently of ingested events. This capability lets you focus specifically on changes in an entity’s risk score, significantly decreasing the time required for Google Security Operations to detect and alert on shifting entity risk levels.

For more information, see Risk-based alerting with entity-only rules.
