## Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.31.100-gke.136 is now available for [download](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/downloads). To upgrade, see [Upgrade a cluster or a node pool](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/how-to/upgrading). Google Distributed Cloud 1.31.100-gke.136 runs on Kubernetes v1.31.4-gke.900. If you are using a third-party storage vendor, check the [GDC Ready storage partners](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/docs/resources/partner-storage) document to make sure the storage vendor has already passed the qualification for this release. After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for use with [GKE On-Prem API clients](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/how-to/cluster-lifecycle-management-tools): the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform. ## Change The following functional change was made in 1.31.100-gke.136: * Removed support in the Konnectivity server (`konnectivity-server`) for the following weak cryptographic cipher suites: TLS\_RSA\_WITH\_AES\_256\_GCM\_SHA384 and TLS\_RSA\_WITH\_AES\_128\_GCM\_SHA256 ## Fix The following issues are fixed in 1.31.100-gke.136: * Fixed an issue to prevent checking for add-on node IP addresses for HA admin clusters with three control-plane nodes and no add-on nodes. * Fixed an issue where DNS and NTP servers weren't checked for HA admin clusters or for user clusters configured for Controlplane V2. * Fixed an issue where the VM template used for the HA admin control plane node repair isn't refreshed in vCenter after an upgrade. * Fixed an issue where a race condition during migration caused admin add-on nodes to get stuck at a NotReady status. ## Fix The 1.31.100-gke.136 release includes many vulnerability fixes. For a list of all vulnerabilities fixed in this release, see [Vulnerability fixes](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/vulnerabilities). ## Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.30.500-gke.126 is now available for [download](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/downloads).
