Artifact Registry remote repositories support basic authentication to user-defined and preset upstream sources for Docker, Maven, npm, and Python formats.

To create a remote repository using a preset or user-defined upstream source, see Create remote repositories. For more information on remote repository authentication, see Configure authentication to remote repositories.
Issue
Images copied to Artifact Registry from Container Registry with the automatic migration
tool are failing to propagate their upload time to Artifact Registry, and instead have their upload time value set to zero, resulting in an upload time of early 1970. If you have cleanup policies that delete images based on upload time, this might mean all your copied images are deleted. We are actively working on a fix for this issue. 
Carbon Footprint
Changed
Emissions reported for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) declined starting in February 2024. This change is a result of an update to Google's internal cost allocation, which determines how shared infrastructure costs are attributed to individual services. According to our methodology (Technical details - Electricity use), these internal costs are used to apportion electricity consumption and carbon emissions to services, so changes in cost apportionment result in corresponding changes to carbon apportionment and reporting for that service.
Chronicle
Feature
Chronicle has expanded Cloud Threat Detections to create a detection when findings from  Security Command Center Event Threat Detections, Cloud Armor, Sensitive Actions Service, and Custom modules for Event Threat Detection are identified. These detections are available through the following rule sets: CDIR SCC Cloud IDS, CDIR SCC Cloud Armor, CDIR SCC Impact, CDIR SCC Enhanced Persistence, CDIR SCC Enhanced Defense Evasion, and CDIR SCC Custom Module.
