to apply the latest security patches and important updates.
Cluster management:
- User clusters with Kubernetes version 1.27.x might have node pools that fail to initialize.
- The required IPv4 PodCIDR is not available.
File and block storage:
- When upgrading from 1.11.1 to 1.12.2, the
file-netapp-tridentsubcomponent rollout might fail.
Firewall:
-
bm-system-machine-initis failing on the first node. Default IDPS firewall policies don't support the organization custom IPs for the Direct Connect (DX) Interconnect.
Hardware security module (HSM):
- A rotatable secret for hardware security modules is in an unknown state.
Lower networking:
- Network switches preloaded with version lower than 9.3.10 may fail to bootstrap.
- Some connections to the
org-adminnode time out.
Networking:
- GDC fails to create switch ACLs from traffic policies during the initial bootstrapping process.
NTP server:
- The Node OS has unsynchronized time.
Object storage:
- Object storage buckets might not be ready after root org upgrade.
Monitoring:
- Configuring the ServiceNow webhook
results in Lifecycle Management (LCM) re-reconciling and reverting the changes made to the
ConfigMapobjectmon-alertmanager-servicenow-webhook-backendand theSecretobjectmon-alertmanager-servicenow-webhook-backendin themon-systemnamespace. - The
mon-commonsubcomponent doesn't deploy the Istio Telemetry object on themon-systemnamespace. - The metrics storage class is incorrectly defined in the configuration.
- The
mon-prober-backend-prometheus-configConfigMap gets reset to include no probe jobs, and alertMON-A0001is triggered.
Physical servers:
- A
NodePoolhas a server in unknown state during creation. - The node firmware upgrade fails on an org.
System artifact registry:
- The job service pod is not ready.
Ticketing system:
- The ticketing system knowledge base sync fails.
- The ticketing system has no healthy upstream.
Vertex AI:
- The
MonitoringTargetshows aNot Readystatus when user clusters are being created, causing pre-trained APIs to continually show anEnablingstate in the user interface.
Virtual machines:
- The importer pods are failing or stuck.
- Virtual machine disks might take a long time to provision.
- VMRuntime might not be ready due to network-controller-manager installation failure.
Upgrade:
Upgrade:
- The
unet-nodenetworkpolicy-infrasubcomponent fails during upgrade. - System cluster fails during upgrade from 1.11.x to 1.12.2.
- The
file-observabilitysubcomponent fails on theorg-1-system-clusterwhen upgrading from 1.11.x to 1.12.2. - The
HSMupgradefails when upgrading from 1.11.x to 1.12.2. - Loki pods are stuck in a terminating state for more than 1.5 hours when upgrading from 1.11.x to 1.12.2.
- SSH for a VM with management IP and the cilium logs fails when upgrading from 1.11.x to 1.12.2.
- The object storage upgrade shows an error during the postflight or preflight check.
- The
mz-etcdsubcomponent updatesspec.deployTargetandspec.Namespacecausing the upgrade from 1.11.x to 1.12.x to fail. - An NTP
OSPolicyfailure blocks all otherOSPoliciesfrom running.
Cluster management:
- Fixed the issue with the namespace deletion operation getting stuck in the
Terminatingstate when deleting a user cluster.
Logging:
- Fixed the issue with Loki instances not collecting audit logs and operational logs.
- Fixed the issue with
ValidatingWebhookConfiguration,MutatingWebhookConfiguration, andMonitoringRuleresources deployed by the Log component failing to upgrade from 1.11.x to 1.12.x. - Fixed the issue with Kubernetes API server logs not being forwarded to an external SIEM destination when enabling logs export .
Monitoring:
- Fixed the issue with the Cortex bucket deletion failure when upgrading from 1.11.x to 1.12.2.
NTP server:
-
Fixed an issue with the NTP relay server pod crash looping.
Physical servers:
- Fixed the issue where servers were stuck in the
Inspectingphase during bootstrap.
Upgrade:
- Fixed the issue when OS in-place node upgrade might stop responding.
- Fixed the issue with user cluster upgrades being blocked due to a reconciling error.
Volume backup and restore:
- Fixed the issue that prevented volume backups from resolving org buckets.
Add-on Manager:
-
The Google Distributed Cloud version is updated to 1.28.300-gke.131 to apply the latest security patches and important updates.
