Google Cloud Update

Gemini previews in Google Cloud console for AI-assisted cluster and instance planning, GA conversational analytics in BigQuery, and a critical `siemAlertId` field reservation notice for Google SecOps and SOAR.

• Google SecOps and Google SecOps SOAR: siemAlertId is being reserved for internal Chronicle SIEM alert IDs; custom values will be overwritten starting 2026-07-05.
• Sensitive Data Protection: Image safety classification infoTypes are now supported in ExcludeByImageFindings and AdjustByImageFindings detection rules.

• AI Hypercomputer: Preview Gemini-assisted hardware evaluation, deployment cost estimation, and recommended cluster configurations in Google Cloud console.
• BigQuery: Conversational analytics is now GA with model selection controls, thinking mode changes, clarifying questions, context citations, verified query parameters, and AI functions such as AI.KEY_DRIVERS, AI.IF, AI.SCORE, AI.CLASSIFY, AI.SIMILARITY, and AI.SEARCH.
• BigQuery: Create a conversation with a dataset in preview.
• Compute Engine: Preview Gemini-assisted instance planning, cost estimation, and recommended configurations in Google Cloud console.
• Knowledge Catalog: Control data lineage ingestion for BigQuery and Managed Service for Apache Airflow at the organization, folder, or project level in preview.

• If you use a custom siemAlertId field in ingestion or alert configurations, rename it before 2026-07-05 to avoid data loss.
• The siemAlertId change affects the Ingestion API, webhooks, and both first-party and third-party connectors.
