Backup and DR
Feature
Backup and DR Service now supports customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for Cloud SQL enhanced backups. This allows you to protect your Cloud SQL backups using the same KMS key as the source instance, with decoupled IAM permissions anchored to the Backup and DR Service service agent.
BigQuery
Feature
The
AI.DETECT_ANOMALIES function
supports calling the function with a single input table that holds both the
historical and target data. This feature is
generally available
(GA).

Cloud Logging
Feature
Starting with version 2.66.0, the Ops Agent can export your logs and metrics by using the OpenTelemetry-based Telemetry API rather than by using the Cloud Logging API and Cloud Monitoring API. During the preview Preview period, you can opt-in to using the Telemetry API. For more information, see Use the Telemetry API.
Cloud Monitoring
Feature
Starting with version 2.66.0, the Ops Agent can export your metrics and logs by using the OpenTelemetry-based Telemetry API rather than by using the Cloud Monitoring API and Cloud Logging API. During the preview Preview period, you can opt-in to using the Telemetry API. For more information, see Use the Telemetry API.
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform
Feature
Manage agent revisions and traffic splitting
Agent revisions and traffic splitting are now available in public preview. You can create immutable revisions of deployed agents, and split traffic between the different active revisions. This enables canary deployments and safe testing of new agent versions. For more information, see Manage revisions and traffic.

Knowledge Catalog
Feature
Column-level lineage for Dataproc is generally available (GA). This feature enables you to track the flow of data between individual columns in BigQuery, BigLake external tables, Cloud Storage buckets, and other resources as reported by Dataproc clusters and Serverless for Apache Spark. For more information, see About data lineage.
Feature
The Data Lineage API is now updated with the following changes:
- The
SearchLinksmethod accepts multiple source and target entity references as search criteria. - Added support for column-level lineage information to be passed and returned from the service.
- Process resources now report Dataflow as their origin if it is used to generate lineage.
For more information, see the Data Lineage API reference for REST and RPC.

Vulnerability Assessment for Google Cloud supports scanning GKE clusters that have Image streaming enabled.
Vertex AI Search
Deprecated
Agent Search: Agent Search for healthcare is deprecated
Agent Search for healthcare is deprecated.
For a comprehensive, managed solution, consider building custom search apps on Agent Search. Or, if you require fine-grained control over the underlying retrieval mechanisms and are prepared for a more customer-managed integration, use Agent Retrieval (formerly known as Vector Search 2.0).
