Vertex AI Search: Skip layout parsing for types of HTML content (GA)

The layout parser can skip parsing specific types of HTML content. By excluding less relevant content such as boilerplate, you can improve data quality. The layout parser can exclude based on HTML tags and IDs and on CSS classes.

This feature is generally available (GA) and only through the API. For more information, see Exclude HTML content.

Cross-Site Interconnect (Preview) support is available in the following colocation facilities:

• Melbourne, Australia

For more information, see the Locations table and Global Locations.

DNS Proxy feature is now available in the Rapid release channel. This feature requires sidecar version 1.21.5-asm.39 or later.

The Security Risk Overview dashboard for Compute Engine is in General Availability. In addition, it provides a Top CVE findings table that lists the most severe CVEs that affect your Compute Engine instances.

This change affects clusters using both the TRAFFIC_DIRECTOR and ISTIOD control plane implementations.

When using Cloud Service Mesh with Istio APIs, configuring an unsupported field or value in an Istio Custom Resources will be reflected as an error in the Mesh status API.

In some cases, the validation webhook will also reject unsupported API usage with an error message indicating the specific unsupported API. For more information, see Common webhook error messages. You can mitigate these issues by amending the Istio Custom Resource to remove the specified unsupported API configuration.
