\nDataflow\n

Feature

\n

You can now use committed use discounts (CUDs) with Dataflow streaming jobs. Committed use discounts provide discounted prices in exchange for your commitment to continuously use a certain amount of Dataflow compute resources for a year or longer.

\nDataform\n

Announcement

\n

Dataform is available in the africa-south1 region. For more information, see Locations.

\nDialogflow\n

Changed

\n

From March 18 to April 15, 2024 (new dates for the same migration announced earlier), for certain language tag and speech setting combinations, the Dialogflow CX and Dialogflow ES traffic with audio will gradually route away from the classic Speech-to-Text models behind the command_and_search, default, phone_call, and video model identifiers to the new conformer-based speech models.

\n\n

If your Dialogflow agents have audio traffic and use one of the following language tags: en, en-us, en-au, en-gb, en-in, de, es, es-es, es-us, fr, fr-ca, fr-fr, it, ja, nl, pt-br, read more about Dialogflow CX speech model migration and Dialogflow ES speech model migration.

\nGoogle Cloud VMware Engine\n

Feature

\n

Google Cloud VMware Engine now leverages Cloud Logging to provide status updates about hardware health and VMware management components. The logs are available in Logs Explorer with the following log name:

\n\n
    \n
  • projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/vmwareengine.googleapis.com%2Falerts

\n\n

For private clusters created with a different GKE version, the clusters continue to use VPC Peering for node-to-control plane communication.

\n

Feature

\n

Secret Manager add-on for GKE is now available. With the add-on, you can access the secrets stored in Secret Manager as volumes mounted in Kubernetes Pods. The add-on is supported on Standard and Autopilot clusters versioned 1.29 and later. For more info, see Use Secret Manager add-on with GKE.

\n

Feature

\n

Opportunistic bursting and lower Pod minimums are now available on newly created GKE Autopilot clusters at version 1.29.2-gke.1060000 or later, and on existing clusters created at 1.26 or later that have been fully upgraded (including all nodes) to 1.29.2-gke.1060000 or later. To learn more, see Configure Pod bursting on GKE.
