AlloyDB for PostgreSQL Feature You can now use Key Access Justifications when working with external CMEK keys. This lets you view and manage external key access requests. Anthos Service Mesh Announcement Managed Anthos Service Mesh 1.18 has completed its rollout in the rapid channel. See Managed Anthos Service Mesh release channels for more information. Anti Money Laundering AI Announcement AML AI has improved handling of supplementary risk indicators included in your datasets. This includes: Release of new engine versions within both v003 and v004, improving usability of party supplementary data. You can now use letters, numbers, and underscores for the party supplementary data ID. Addition of new data validations for party supplementary data IDs. Feature Save time and cost when adopting new EngineVersions: For new engine versions, including versions in v003 and v004, you can now inherit hyperparameters from an existing engine config instead of re-tuning. This leads to quicker creation, and there are no additional costs for tuning. All of your existing engine versions can be used as a source for inheriting hyperparameters. See Configure an Engine to find out more about how this works. Apigee Advanced API Security Announcement On March 4, 2024 we released an updated version of Advanced API Security.
