Scope 2 emissions on this page are estimated using annual emissions factors from government sources (IEA, EPA & AIB). You can learn more here about the methodology and the difference between location-based and market-based emission metrics. Scope 2 market-based emissions data is available only from January 2023 onwards and can be accessed in: The console Dashboard on the Market-based emissions tab, and The BigQuery export as field carbon_footprint_kgCO2e.scope2.market_based in the export data schema. Please note that data already exported to BigQuery for previous months will still have Scope 2 market-based emissions data as NULL in your exported tables. To see the newly-released market-based data, schedule a manual data backfill for the desired time period. Note that there is a half-month lag of our data release. For example, to backfill January and February 2023 data, run the backfill for February 15, 2023 and March 15, 2023, which will update the data for January and February 2023 in your BigQuery table. Cloud Load Balancing Feature You can now configure advanced traffic management using flexible pattern matching. This feature allows you to use wildcard syntax anywhere in your path matcher configuration. You can use this feature to customize origin routing for different types of traffic and request and response behaviors. In addition, you can now use results from your pattern matching to rewrite the path that is sent to the origin. Pattern matching with wildcards is now supported for the following products: Global external Application Load Balancer (launched previously) Regional external Application Load Balancer Cross-region internal Application Load Balancer Regional internal Application Load Balancer Traffic Director For details, see URL maps overview: Wildcards and pattern matching operators in path templates for route rules.

\nCarbon Footprint\n

Feature

\n

Scope 2 market-based emissions data is now launched in Preview. This metric represents purchased electricity, incorporating Google's annual renewable energy purchases. Scope 2 emissions on this page are estimated using annual emissions factors from government sources (IEA, EPA & AIB). You can learn more here about the methodology and the difference between location-based and market-based emission metrics.

\n\n

Scope 2 market-based emissions data is available only from January 2023 onwards and can be accessed in:

\n\n\n\n

Please note that data already exported to BigQuery for previous months will still have Scope 2 market-based emissions data as NULL in your exported tables. To see the newly-released market-based data, schedule a manual data backfill for the desired time period. Note that there is a half-month lag of our data release. For example, to backfill January and February 2023 data, run the backfill for February 15, 2023 and March 15, 2023, which will update the data for January and February 2023 in your BigQuery table.

\nCloud Load Balancing\n

Feature

\n

You can now configure advanced traffic management using flexible pattern matching. This feature allows you to use wildcard syntax anywhere in your path matcher configuration. You can use this feature to customize origin routing for different types of traffic and request and response behaviors. In addition, you can now use results from your pattern matching to rewrite the path that is sent to the origin.

\n\n

Pattern matching with wildcards is now supported for the following products:

\n\n
    \n
  • Global external Application Load Balancer (launched previously)
    • \n
  • Regional external Application Load Balancer
    • \n
  • Cross-region internal Application Load Balancer
    • \n
  • Regional internal Application Load Balancer
    • \n
  • Traffic Director
    • \n
\n\n

For details, see URL maps overview: Wildcards and pattern matching operators in path templates for route rules.

\n\n

This capability is available in General availability.

\nCloud SQL for MySQL\n

Changed

\n

If your Cloud SQL Enterprise edition instance stores the transaction logs used for point-in-time recovery (PITR) on disk, then when you do an in-place upgrade to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition, the storage location for the transaction logs is switched to Cloud Storage. For more information, see Upgrade an instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition by using in-place upgrade.

\n\n

To check where your instance stores the transaction logs used for PITR, see Use point-in-time recovery (PITR)

Issue

\n

Policy Troubleshooter for IAM currently doesn't fetch tags for regional resources, such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. As a result, if you have IAM policies with tag-based conditions and you try to use Policy Troubleshooter to troubleshoot access to regional resources, you might get inaccurate results. Our engineering team is working to resolve this issue.
