Google Cloud Update Version 1-17-0-apigee-10; 1.36.0-gke.4681000; 1.34.8-gke.1278000; 1.35.6

July 16, 2026 Google Cloud updates include Apigee X maintenance window upgrades to 1-17-0-apigee-10, Cloud KMS PQC signing algorithms in GA, and GKE version rollouts with security updates. Gemini Enterprise, Compute Engine, and Oracle Database@Google Cloud also received notable changes.

• GKE security updates include new versions that use updated Container-Optimized OS images with cumulative security fixes.

• Cloud KMS now supports multiple post-quantum computing (PQC) signing algorithms in General Availability, including PQ_SIGN_ML_DSA_44, PQ_SIGN_ML_DSA_65, PQ_SIGN_ML_DSA_87, and PQ_SIGN_SLH_DSA_SHA2_128S.
• Gemini Enterprise mobile apps now support Bring Your Own Identity (BYOID) in GA for organizations using supported third-party identity providers.
• GKE now supports the any-reservation-then-fail reservation affinity to avoid falling back to on-demand capacity when reserved capacity is unavailable.
• GKE version 1.33 now supports the N4D machine series for node pool auto-creation and Autopilot clusters in later patch versions.
• GKE VerticalPodAutoscaler supports CPU startup boost in Preview for version 1.36.0-gke.4447000 and later.
• Oracle Database@Google Cloud now supports cloning for Autonomous AI Databases in GA.

• Apigee X instances with a DNS misconfiguration, as described in Known Issue 445936920, will not be updated.
• Apigee X instances using an Apigee Java Library removed in the October 16, 2025 release notes will not be updated.

• Apigee X instances configured for maintenance windows and below version 1-17-0-apigee-10 will be upgraded within 7 to 21 days, with an expected upgrade date notification sent within two business days.
• Starting June 30, 2026, enabling the Kubernetes Engine API also enables the Filestore API by default in a project.
• NotebookLM Enterprise has been renamed to Gemini Notebook Enterprise; APIs still use the same endpoints, and the subscription page still shows the old name.
• GKE release note rollouts may take multiple days to reach all Google Cloud zones.
• In GKE, some listed versions are deprecated and will be removed in 90 days or at end of support, whichever comes first.
