In the Google Cloud console, you can import data into Bigtable using the Dataflow job builder, a web interface for building and running Dataflow pipelines. This integration provides a pre-populated template to import data from Pub/Sub to Bigtable. You can also create a custom job to import data from other sources. For more information, see Import and export data.

Cloud VPN provides predefined dashboards in the Google Cloud console for a quick, single-view insight into system health and tunnel performance. These dashboards display key metrics that enable you to monitor project-wide health and conduct tunnel-specific diagnosis without manual configuration. This feature is Generally Available.

For more information, see View Monitoring dashboards

If you clone a source disk that's encrypted with a customer-supplied encryption key or customer-managed encryption key, you must use the same key to encrypt the clone.

Cloud SQL for MySQL now lets you have more control over the number of results that are returned when you perform an ANN vector search with filters. You can use iterative filtering when the selective filters of the WHERE clause in your ANN search query produce fewer results than the number of results specified in your LIMIT clause.

To enable iterative filtering for your ANN search query, set the cloudsql_vector_iterative_filtering flag to ON. You can set the flag at a session or global level.

To enable and use iterative filtering for your ANN search query, you must have [MYSQL_$VERSION].R20251004.01_07 or later installed on your MySQL instance.

For more information, see Search approximate nearest neighbors (ANN).
