Issue
Support for the AI.KEY_DRIVERS function
preview
has been temporarily disabled. We are working to restore this feature as soon as
possible.
Cloud Composer
Issue
The google-api-core preinstalled package versions from 2.28.0 to 2.30.2 might
cause degraded environment performance, which can result in longer times to
execute a task and longer times to move a task from the queued to the executing
state.
Affected Managed Airflow (Gen 3) builds:
- composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.0 to composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.5
- composer-3-airflow-3.1.0-build.5 to composer-3-airflow-3.1.0-build.10
- composer-3-airflow-2.11.1-build.0
- composer-3-airflow-2.10.5-build.22 to composer-3-airflow-2.10.5-build.33
- composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.42 to composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.53
Affected Managed Airflow (Gen 2) builds:
- composer-2.16.10-airflow-2.11.1
- composer-2.16.0-airflow-2.10.5 to composer-2.16.10-airflow-2.10.5
- composer-2.16.0-airflow-2.9.3 to composer-2.16.10-airflow-2.9.3
We recommend to upgrade your environment to the following versions, which contain a version of the package where the problem is fixed or isn’t present:
- composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.7 and later
- composer-3-airflow-2.11.1-build.3 and later
- composer-3-airflow-2.10.5-build.36 and later
- composer-3-airflow-2.9.3-build.54 (contains 2.27.0)
- composer-2.17.0-airflow-2.11.1 and later
- composer-2.17.0-airflow-2.10.5 and later
- composer-2.16.11-airflow-2.11.1 (contains 2.27.0)
- composer-2.16.11-airflow-2.10.5 (contains 2.27.0)
- composer-2.16.11-airflow-2.9.3 (contains 2.27.0)
As a workaround, you can manually install a later version of the
google-api-core package to an affected environment by specifying >=2.30.3
as the required version.
Cloud Key Management Service
Feature
The Cloud KMS Encryption metrics dashboard and project-level key tracking are generally available. You can use the Encryption metrics dashboard to review summaries and details of your keys used in customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) integrations and the resources that they protect. The Encryption metrics dashboard and the key Usage tracking tab support both centralized key management using a dedicated key project and delegated key management using keys stored in the same projects as the resources that they protect.
For more information about the Encryption metrics dashboard, see View encryption metrics. For more information about project-level key tracking, see View key usage.

Google Kubernetes Engine
Feature
GKE now supports concurrent node pool upgrades for clusters (Preview). By default, GKE automatically upgrades one node pool at a time. To decrease the total time required to upgrade your cluster, you can now configure the maximum number of node pools that GKE auto-upgrades simultaneously. This feature is supported for both Standard and Autopilot clusters. For more information, see Configure concurrent node pool upgrades.
Feature
Managed OpenTelemetry on GKE now supports the collection of multimodal prompts and responses (Preview) for LangGraph and Agent Development Kit (ADK) agents. You can view and analyze the data in the Trace Explorer and BigQuery platforms. For more details, see Collect multimodal prompts and responses data.
Change
Container-Optimized OS (COS) milestone 129 and higher no longer include the
kubectl binary in the /usr/bin/ directory.
