Feature

Buildpacks

Feature

Support for osonly24 runtime is in General Availability. The OS only runtime lets you deploy Go applications from source, and binaries such as Dart and Go. For more information, see Configure the OS only runtime.

Cloud Deploy

Feature

You can now deploy containerized workloads to Cloud Run worker pools. This feature is now generally available (GA).

Cloud Key Management Service

Feature

Cloud KMS Autokey for projects is available in Public Preview. Autokey for projects lets you enable Cloud KMS Autokey for delegated key management. In delegated key management, keys created by Autokey are created in the same project as the resources they protect. This option is suitable for your organization if project administrators are in charge of key management for the projects they manage.

You can still use Cloud KMS Autokey for centralized key management in a folder, where all keys that protect resources in that folder are created in a dedicated key project. You can also use centralized key management in a folder, with certain projects within that folder configured to use delegated key management and same-project keys instead of creating keys in the dedicated key project.

You can enable Autokey for projects on individual projects or on all projects within a folder. For more information, see Enable Cloud KMS Autokey.
