API Gateway

Feature

Route LLM requests with model routing

You can now use model routing in API Gateway as a managed traffic management layer to accept OpenAI-compatible prompt requests, transcode them in-flight, and route them to specific foundation models in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Model Garden (including Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI GPT models).

Key benefits and capabilities include:

  • Centralized traffic management: Consolidate AI traffic routing and lifecycle management at the network edge without hosting standalone client-side proxies.
  • In-flight transcoding: Standardize client applications on an OpenAI-compatible REST interface while dynamically dispatching requests to diverse underlying Agent Platform Model Garden endpoints.
  • OpenAPI 3.x configuration: Define model routing tables, explicit routing rules, and default model fallbacks using the new x-google-api-management.ai.models.routing and x-google-model-router OpenAPI 3.x extensions.

For more information, see Overview of model routing and Configure model routing.

Assured Open Source Software

Feature

The Assured Open Source Software Premium tier supports JavaScript (NPM) packages for Node.js environments.

For more information, see Download NPM packages using direct repository access and List of supported NPM packages for the Assured Open Source Software premium tier.

Backup and DR

Feature

You can now change the backup plan associated with a Cloud SQL instance. This allows you to switch an instance to a different backup plan, provided the new plan uses the same backup vault and is in the same region as the instance. This feature is available through the Google Cloud console and gcloud CLI. To learn more, see Change the associated backup plan for a Cloud SQL instance.

BigQuery

Feature

You can now use cross-cloud connections to query data in AWS, Azure, and Salesforce Data 360 from all BigQuery regions. These connections let you use more BigQuery features and are more cost efficient than standard connections that use BigQuery Omni. This feature is in Preview.

Feature

The JDBC driver for BigQuery now supports OpenTelemetry for tracing and logging, which helps you monitor the performance of your database interactions and troubleshoot issues. Automatic exports to Google Cloud Observability are also available. This feature is generally available (GA).

Announcement

Support for hybrid search (using the VECTOR_SEARCH function to combine a semantic search with a lexical (keyword) search) has been restored. Using HYBRID mode in the AI.SEARCH function has also been restored.

Cloud SQL for MySQL

Change

You can change the backup plan for your Cloud SQL enhanced backups without first removing the existing plan. For more information, see Change your instance's associated backup plan.

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Change

You can change the backup plan for your Cloud SQL enhanced backups without first removing the existing plan. For more information, see Change your instance's associated backup plan.

Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Change

You can change the backup plan for your Cloud SQL enhanced backups without first removing the existing plan. For more information, see Change your instance's associated backup plan.

Cloud Workstations

Change

Updated the following JetBrains preconfigured base images to version 2026.x:

Compute Engine

Feature

Changed: The minimum provisioned throughput for a Hyperdisk ML volume attached to more than 20 instances is 20 MiB/s per instance, reduced from 100 MiB/s.

For more information, see Share a Hyperdisk ML volume between instances.

Config Controller

Change

Config Controller now uses the following versions of its included products:

Gemini Enterprise

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: New data stores and support for new actions (Public Preview)

The following data stores are in Public Preview:

Additionally, support for new actions is available in Public Preview for the following data stores:

Google Kubernetes Engine

Feature

TPU Subslicing (also known as Dynamic Subslicing) is now generally available for Ironwood (TPU7x). This feature enables you to incrementally provision node pools for a cube or litepod, breaking them into smaller slices (subslices) to run workloads requiring smaller topologies. Updates in this GA release include:

  • Dynamic sub-slicing (topologies smaller than 4x4x4, such as 2x2x1, 2x2x2, 2x2x4, and 2x4x4): Supported in GKE version 1.36.0-gke.3712000 or later.
  • Dynamic super-slicing (topologies 4x4x4 or larger): Supported in GKE version 1.35.2-gke.1842000 or later.
  • Partition Health Labels: The partition state label is updated to cloud.google.com/gke-tpu-partition-[shape]-state to specify smaller subslice shapes. It also introduces UNSET and INCOMPLETE states. Support for the DEGRADED state only applies to the top-level 4x4x4 topology, and not for smaller sub-slicing topologies.

For more information, see About GKE dynamic slicing.

Google SecOps

Feature

[Spotlight Feature] Threat Hunt Agent

The Threat Hunt Agent is now available in Public Preview for Google SecOps Enterprise Plus customers. Powered by Gemini and grounded in Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), Mandiant frontline expertise, and the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, the Threat Hunt Agent autonomously automates proactive threat hunting across your historical security telemetry. For more information, see Threat Hunt Agent.

Key capabilities include:

  • Autonomous hunt planning: Generates structured hunting plans tailored to specific threat actors, campaigns, malware families, software toolkits, or MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
  • Automated case creation and determinations: Synthesizes findings into summaries, assigns a verdict (Substantial Evidence, Evidence Found, or Threat Not Found), and automatically creates a dedicated case in Case Management.
  • Automated query translation and execution: Converts investigative hypotheses into YARA-L 2.0 search queries and executes against historical security telemetry.
  • AI-driven evidence extraction: Filters out routine background noise to isolate high-fidelity forensic evidence (hostnames, user accounts, and command lines).

Announcement

The deadline for Stage 2 of the SOAR migration to Google Cloud has been extended from September 30th to November 30th, 2026. For more information, refer to the SOAR migration guide.

Google SecOps SOAR

Announcement

The deadline for Stage 2 of the SOAR migration to Google Cloud has been extended from September 30th to November 30th, 2026. For more information, refer to the SOAR migration guide.

Guest Environment

Fixed

Version 20260717.00 of the guest agent is now available for Windows only. This version introduces the following fix:

  • Fixed a race condition in the extensions manager during Windows shutdown that could cause an incorrect state on the next boot. This occurred when the Service Control Manager (SCM) attempted to restart the extensions manager after it received an early termination signal.

Identity and Access Management

Feature

Organization Policy Service custom constraints are available for Privileged Access Manager (PAM). You can use custom constraints to restrict how users create and modify entitlements and grants. This feature is in Preview.

For more information, see Use custom organization policies for Privileged Access Manager.

Feature

A localized processing option for Conversational Analytics is now available for European Union (EU) based customers, enabling data processing within the EU jurisdiction by routing traffic through an EU multi-regional endpoint.

Note that the EU multi-region endpoint covers data residency strictly within EU member states and does not include the europe-west2 (London, UK) or europe-west6 (Zurich, Switzerland) regions. Support for the europe-west12 (Turin, Italy) region is also unavailable at this time.

Network Intelligence Center

Feature

Connectivity Tests supports testing connectivity from a Database Migration Service private connection to a Cloud SQL instance.

For more information, see Test from a Database Migration Service private connection to a Cloud SQL instance.
