### Compute Engine

* Unhided `gcloud compute advice capacity` command in alpha.
* Fix bug with updating standby target size to `0` when calling
  `gcloud beta compute instance-groups managed update` with flags
  `--stopped-size` or `--suspended-size`.

### Kubernetes Engine

* Announced General Availability (GA) of support for the Image Streaming and
Secondary Boot Disk feature on Ubuntu node images (`UBUNTU_CONTAINERD`) within
Google Kubernetes Engine. This allows clusters using Ubuntu nodes to benefit
from faster container startups by streaming image data.
*   Updated the help text for `--enable-image-streaming` flag
(in `gcloud container clusters create/update` and
`gcloud container node-pools create/update`). The enhanced help text now
directs users to the public documentation for detailed version requirements and
usage instructions for Image Streaming with both `UBUNTU_CONTAINERD` and
`COS_CONTAINERD` node images.
*   Updated the help text for `--secondary-boot-disk` flag

the public documentation for detailed version requirements and usage
instructions across different node image types, including `UBUNTU_CONTAINERD`.

  `gcloud container clusters create`, `create-auto` and `update`commands.
  Accepted values are: `none`, `no-performance`. This flag allows specifying the
  Autopilot general compute profile for a cluster, available on clusters running
  version 1.32 or later. For more information, see <https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/autopilot-overview#autopilot-compute-platform>.

### Network Connectivity

*   Fix `gcloud beta network-connectivity transports profiles` by adding REGION
    as a column on `list`, and align on `--region` flag for `describe`.
*   Marked `advertised-routes` as optional in `gcloud beta network-connectivity
    transports create`.

### Vector Search

* Added `gcloud beta vector-search` which allows for basic CRUDL operations on Vector Search 2.0 resources.
* Added support for Data Objects aggregation, query and search.
