Anthos Service Mesh1.5.4-asm.2
1.5.4-asm.2 is now available.
Security fixes
1.5.4-asm.2 contains all the same security fixes that are in Anthos Service Mesh 1.4.
Beta release of the Anthos CLI
The Anthos CLI simplifies the installation of Anthos Service Mesh. You can use the Anthos CLI to:
- Create a new cluster that meets the Anthos Service Mesh cluster requirements and install Anthos Service Mesh. See Installing Anthos Service Mesh on a new cluster using the Anthos CLI.
- Update an existing cluster with the options that Anthos Service Mesh requires and install Anthos Service Mesh. See Installing Anthos Service Mesh on an existing cluster using the Anthos CLI.
Port change for automatic sidecar injection
If you are installing Anthos Service Mesh on a private cluster, you must add a firewall rule to open port 15017 if you want to use automatic sidecar injection. In Anthos Service Mesh 1.4, the port used for automatic sidecar injection is 9443.
If you don't add the firewall rule and automatic sidecar injection is enabled, you get an error when you deploy workloads. For details on adding a firewall rule, see Adding firewall rules for specific use cases.
The alpha authentication policy is deprecated
See Updating to the beta security policies for more information.
IstioOperator API replaces IstioControlPlane API
The alpha IstioControlPlane API has been replaced by the IstioOperator API. You must use the IstioOperator API in YAML files to enable optional features when you install Anthos Service Mesh.
Citadel CA supported on GKE
By default, the Anthos Service Mesh Certificate Authority (Mesh CA) is enabled on GKE when you install Anthos Service Mesh. You can optionally enable the Citadel CA as a replacement for Mesh CA on GKE.
Istio CNI plugin is supported
By default Anthos Service Mesh injects an initContainer, istio-init, in pods deployed in the mesh. The istio-init container sets up the pod network traffic redirection to/from the sidecar proxy. This requires the user or service-account deploying pods to the mesh to have sufficient Kubernetes RBAC permissions to deploy containers with the NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW capabilities. Requiring users to have elevated Kubernetes RBAC permissions is problematic for some organization's security compliance. The Istio Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin is a replacement for the istio-init container that performs the same networking functionality but without requiring users to enable elevated Kubernetes RBAC permissions.
The Istio CNI plugin performs the mesh pod traffic redirection in the Kubernetes pod lifecycle's network setup phase, thereby removing the requirement for the NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW capabilities for users deploying pods into the mesh. The Istio CNI plugin replaces the functionality provided by the istio-init container.
Enabling pod security policies no longer needed
SDS security was improved by merging Node Agent with Pilot Agent as Istio Agent and removing cross-pod UDS, which no longer requires users to deploy Kubernetes pod security policies for UDS connections.
Happy 10th birthday, BigQuery!

Cloud Monitoring introduces an improved experience for viewing and managing incidents. Improvements include performance optimizations for Workspaces with large numbers of incidents, summary statics, and the ability to filter by alerting policy name, metric type, and resource type. For more information, see Incidents and events.

AI Platform PredictionAI Platform Prediction now supports several regional endpoints for online prediction. Regional endpoints provide additional protection against outages in other regions by isolating your model and version resources from other regions. The following regional endpoints are available in beta:
us-central1-ml.googleapis.comeurope-west4-ml.googleapis.comasia-east1-ml.googleapis.com
You can use these endpoints instead of the global endpoint, ml.googleapis.com, when you use AI Platform Prediction for online prediction. Learn how to use regional endpoints for online prediction, and read about their benefits and limitations.
You can now deploy scikit-learn and XGBoost models for online prediction using Compute Engine (N1) machine types. Previously, you could only deploy TensorFlow models when you used these machine types. Learn more about ML framework support for Compute Engine (N1) machine types.
You cannot use GPUs with scikit-learn or XGBoost models, and you can only use scikit-learn and XGBoost models with Compute Engine (N1) machine types when you deploy your models and versions to a regional endpoint.
Compute Engine (N1) machine types for online prediction remain available in the beta launch stage.
The europe-west4 (Netherlands) and asia-east1 (Taiwan) regions are now available for online prediction. These regions are only available for online prediction on their respective regional endpoints, and you can only use Compute Engine (N1) machine types for online prediction in these regions.
When you deploy model versions in the europe-west4 region, you can optionally use NVIDIA Tesla P4, NVIDIA Tesla T4, or NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs to accelerate prediction.
When you deploy model versions in the asia-east1 region, you can optionally use NVIDIA Tesla K80 or NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs to accelerate prediction.
Learn more about using GPUs for online prediction, and see which GPUs are available in which regions.
Learn about the pricing for the newly available regions and GPU resources.
We recommend against using Compute Engine (N1) machine types on the AI Platform Prediction global endpoint. Instead, only use Compute Engine (N1) machine types when you deploy models and versions to a regional endpoint.
Model versions that use Compute Engine (N1) machine types and were previously deployed to the us-central1 region on the global endpoint will continue to function.
Google Cloud now encrypts VPC traffic within the boundaries of the data centers in asia-east2. We will roll out this feature gradually to other regions. Google Cloud already encrypts VPC traffic between all data centers as described in Encryption in Transit in Google Cloud.
