Cloud SQL for MySQL
Feature
To help prevent out-of-memory (OOM) events, you can enable managed buffer pool
for Cloud SQL for MySQL 8.0 and later instances. When you enable managed buffer
pool, Cloud SQL reduces the value of the
innodb_buffer_pool_size configuration and frees up memory when memory usage
is high, and the instance is in danger of an OOM event.
After memory usage stabilizes at a lower value, MySQL increases the
value of innodb_buffer_pool_size incrementally to its original value.
To enable managed buffer pool, your Cloud SQL instance must use a
maintenance version of [$MYSQL_VERSION].R20251004.01_07
or later. You can’t enable managed buffer pool for instances that use a
shared core or for instances that are running MySQL 5.6 or MySQL 5.7.
For more information, see Enable managed buffer pool. Support for managed buffer pool is in Preview.
Dataflow
Feature
Dataflow now supports speculative execution for batch pipelines. This feature mitigates the impact of slow-running tasks (stragglers) by launching a redundant execution of these tasks. The first task to finish is used, and the other is canceled, which can improve the overall completion time of your pipeline. This feature is generally available. For more information, see Use speculative execution to avoid stragglers.
Dataplex
Feature
Data products in Dataplex Universal Catalog is now available in preview.
A data product serves as a logical, curated package of data assets designed to solve a specific business problem. It enables faster time to insights and provides trust, context, and self-service access request mechanisms for data consumers. For more information, see About data products.
Firestore
Feature
Support for Object as document _id identifier.

You can ask the assistant to save and remember specific pieces of information for reference in future conversations. For more information, see Save information as memories.
Google Kubernetes Engine
Issue
GKE versions earlier than 1.32 don’t support
direct NFS volume mounts
to NFS volumes that exclusively use an NFS protocol greater than NFSv4.0.
When using direct NFS volume mounts, Pods on GKE node versions
earlier than 1.32 might fail to mount NFS volumes that are configured to only
support protocols greater than NFSv4.0 (such as NFSv4.1 or NFSv4.2). This
issue occurs because the containerized_mounter on these earlier
GKE versions uses version 1.2.8 of the nfs-utils package,
which doesn’t support NFSv4 minor versions. As a result, the mount process
fails with the mount.nfs: access denied by server error message.
This issue doesn’t affect GKE version 1.32 and later, which
include an updated version of the nfs-utils package. To resolve this issue,
try one of the following options:
- Upgrade clusters to GKE version 1.32 or later.
- Configure the NFS volume to support both the
NFSv3andNFSv4protocols, which allows the mount to succeed by falling back to a compatible version. - Use a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim to mount the NFS volume, which allows for explicit NFS version specification.
Issue
In GKE versions 1.34.1-gke.2037001 and 1.34.1-gke.2541000, Arm nodes that use an Ubuntu node image might incorrectly use an image with a 64 KB page size instead of the default 4 KB page size. Avoid using version 1.34.1-gke.2037001 and 1.34.1-gke.2541000 for your Ubuntu Arm nodes.

Feature
Vertex AI Search: Allowlist fields for natural language query understanding
You can specify an allowlist of fields to be used for filter extraction. If you have some fields, perhaps for internal use, that you don’t want to be used in filters, then specify an allowlist to restrict the fields that can be used.
For more information, see Specify fields for natural-language queries.
