Guest Environment

Feature Version 20260329.00 of the guest agent is now available for all supported operating systems. This version introduces the following features: A new local extension, guest telemetry, is introduced, which collects important telemetry data about Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) running on a compute instance. For more information about the telemetry the guest agent collects, see System telemetry collection . The enable_local_plugins configuration now defaults to true . A new configuration flag connection_type is introduced to the PluginConfig section of the guest agent configuration file. This option forces a specific connection type when the guest agent connects to the extensions it is managing. Supported connection types are UDS and TCP. Fixed Version 20260329.00 of the guest agent is now available for all supported operating systems. This version introduces the following fixes: The guest agent no longer terminates abruptly when an extension's gRPC client is null. Instead, it logs an error. The credentials setup for HTTPS access to the metadata server was moved to prevent it from blocking the guest agent's readiness signal. This mitigates an issue on machines without vTPM, where the guest agent can take an extra 10 seconds to signal that it's ready. The core plugin now logs during the startup phase to provide a better signal on when it's started. Locally bundled extensions are now direct child processes of the agent manager process. This helps resolve an issue where p

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware

Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.33.600-gke.40: Fixed an issue where if updates or upgrades to advanced admin clusters failed and the external bootstrap cluster was deleted, you could lose critical data. Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.32.1000-gke.57: Fixed an issue where the node-problem-detector was incorrectly deployed onto non-Advanced (V1) VMware clusters, causing the containerd runtime to continuously restart on affected nodes, leading to ETCD/CRI failures and unsuccessful cluster upgrades. Fixed an issue where setting the deprecated stackdriver.enableVPC field to true in a cluster configuration file would block upgrades to an Advanced Cluster. The stackdriver.enableVPC field has been deprecated and its setting is now ignored during the upgrade validation process. Fixes an issue where Advanced Clusters incorrectly deployed the node problem detector onto non-Advanced clusters, which caused containerd to continuously restart and led to cluster upgrade failures. Fixed an issue where the system certificate pool was ignored when a custom CA certificate was configured for a registry mirror. Fixed an issue where retrying the gkectl upgrade admin command after a previous failure could fail with "AlreadyExists" errors in the bootstrap cluster. Fixed an issue where cluster creation or upgrade failed if the proxy or noProxy configuration fields contained extraneous whitespaces. These spaces interfered with internal command-line argument parsing, causing the co

Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal

Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.32.1000-gke.57: Fixed vulnerabilities listed in Vulnerability fixes . Cluster and node pool failures are now surfaced in the RecentFailures field in the cluster status. This change provides a centralized location for viewing errors from both worker node pools and control plane nodes, improving the troubleshooting and debugging experience. Fixed an issue where Metrics API operations—including kubectl top , Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA), and Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA)—could fail with TLS verification errors during CA rotation. Resolved an issue where Certificate Authority (CA) rotation became stuck on self-managed clusters (admin, hybrid, or standalone). This fix resolves an internal resource synchronization error that previously prevented the rotation process from completing successfully. Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal 1.32.1000-gke.57 is now available for download. To upgrade, see Upgrade clusters . Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.32.1000-gke.57 runs on Kubernetes v1.32.13-gke.1000. After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for installations or upgrades with the GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform.
