Google Cloud release notes

You can autoscale a managed instance group (MIG) that has instance flexibility configured. Autoscaling lets the MIG create or delete virtual machine instances based on an increase or decrease in load. For more information, see About instance flexibility.

Added a new dataproc:pypi.repository property to customize the PyPI repository used for pip. The value can be a URL, or google to use a Google-hosted cache of PyPI, accessible without public internet connectivity. Starting in image version 3.1, google will be the default; to opt out and return to public PyPI, use the value pypi.

Added a new dataproc:pypi.repository property to customize the PyPI repository that pip uses. The value can be a internet-accessible URL, or you can specify google to use a Google-hosted cache of PyPI, which is accessible without public internet connectivity. Starting with Dataproc image version 3.1, google will be the default (you can specify the pypi property value to use public PyPI instead of the default google 3.1 value).

Application Load Balancers now support the configuration of a traffic duration setting when you add backends to the backend services. You can configure this setting as SHORT or LONG based on the response time needed by backends to complete HTTP requests.

Application Load Balancers also support the use of a new in-flight balancing mode that lets you configure the load balancer's traffic distribution to supported backends when requests take more than a second to complete.

This feature is available in Preview.

You can use Private Service Connect backends to access published services. For more information, see About Private Service Connect backends.
