    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<h3>Fixed</h3>
<p>The following issues were fixed in 1.33.600-gke.40:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed an issue where if updates or upgrades to advanced admin clusters failed and the external bootstrap cluster was deleted, you could lose critical data.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Fixed</h3>
<p>The following issues were fixed in 1.32.1000-gke.57:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed an issue where the node-problem-detector was incorrectly deployed onto
non-Advanced (V1) VMware clusters, causing the containerd runtime to
continuously restart on affected nodes, leading to ETCD/CRI failures and
unsuccessful cluster upgrades.
</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where setting the deprecated stackdriver.enableVPC field to
true in a cluster configuration file would block upgrades to an Advanced
Cluster. The stackdriver.enableVPC field has been deprecated and its setting is
now ignored during the upgrade validation process.
</li>
<li>Fixes an issue where Advanced Clusters incorrectly deployed the node problem
detector onto non-Advanced clusters, which caused containerd to continuously
restart and led to cluster upgrade failures.
</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where the system certificate pool was ignored when a custom CA
certificate was configured for a registry mirror.
</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where retrying the <code>gkectl upgrade admin</code> command after a
previous failure could fail with "AlreadyExists" errors in the bootstrap cluster.
</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where cluster creation or upgrade failed if the proxy or
noProxy configuration fields contained extraneous whitespaces. These spaces
interfered with internal command-line argument parsing, causing the control
plane load balancer initialization to fail.
</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where if updates or upgrades to advanced admin clusters failed
and the external bootstrap cluster was deleted, you could lose critical data.</li>
</ul>

<strong>Important: Mandatory flag for admin cluster upgrades</strong></p>
<p>If an update or upgrade to advanced admin clusters fails in versions 1.32 and newer, don't delete the external bootstrap cluster from the workstation. The bootstrap cluster contains required information about states that you need to resume the update or upgrade. If an update or upgrade to admin clusters fails, and you re-run <code>gkectl upgrade admin</code>, you must add the flag <code>--reuse-bootstrap-cluster</code> or you can lose critical data.</p>

non-advanced cluster from version 1.33 to 1.34, the cluster is automatically
converted to an advanced cluster. If you use custom code that depends on the
non-advanced cluster configuration, this can be a breaking change. For more

<ul>
<li>Fixed vulnerabilities listed in <a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/vulnerabilities">Vulnerability fixes</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Feature</h3>
<ul>
<li>GA: Enabled the <code>vsphere-metrics-exporter</code> component for advanced clusters. This exporter provides greater visibility into the VMware vSphere environment by collecting key performance and health metrics.</li>
<li>GA: Added support for VM-Host affinity groups in advanced clusters. This feature allows for the creation of rules that constrain cluster nodes to run on specific, predefined groups of hosts.</li>
<li>GA: Added support for automatic node resizing in advanced clusters. This feature optimizes resource use by automatically adjusting the CPU and memory allocated to control plane nodes in response to workload demands.</li>
<li>Public Preview: Added support for Virtual Machine (VM) tracking using vSphere
tags in advanced clusters. This feature simplifies resource management by
automatically applying identifying tags to cluster VMs.</li>
<li>GA: Introduced an Envoy proxy sidecar to the GKE Identity Service for clusters
that use Controlplane V2. This change enhances the security, reliability, and
performance of the authentication service.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Change</h3>
<ul>
<li>GA: Changed the cluster creation process so that all new clusters are <a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/concepts/advanced-clusters">advanced clusters</a>.</li>
<li>Clusters are automatically converted to advanced clusters when you upgrade to
version 1.33.</li>
<li>You must use the <code>gkectl</code> command line tool to upgrade non-advanced clusters
to version 1.33. The GKE On-Prem API clients, Terraform, the
Google Cloud console, and the gcloud CLI, aren't supported.</li>
<li>Upgraded the <code>etcd</code> component to version 3.4.33.</li>
</ul>
