Anthos clusters on bare metal - March 3rd, 2026 [Announcement]

## Announcement Announcement In Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal versions 1.33.0 and later,`bmctl` operations can fail to stream logs from pods to the local workspace, causing empty or incomplete logs in `bmctl-workspace/{CLUSTER NAME}/log directory`. This issue occurred because a recent Kubernetes library upgrade introduced a required context parameter for pod log streaming. The bmctl tool was incorrectly passing a context with a 10-second timeout, causing the log streamer to terminate prematurely for pods with long lifecycles, such as Ansible runner jobs. This issue is resolved in the following versions: * 1.33.500 and later * 1.34.100 and later * 1.35.0 and later If you use an affected version and require the logs for a failed or ongoing operation, check logs using `kubectl`. If the cluster is accessible, you can manually retrieve logs directly from the relevant pods using the `kubectl logs`command. It is recommended to upgrade to a fixed version to ensure that all `bmctl`operation logs are correctly captured in your local workspace for troubleshooting and auditing purposes ## Announcement Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for bare metal 1.33.500-gke.63 is now available for download. To upgrade, see [Upgrade clusters](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/bare-metal/docs/how-to/upgrade). Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal 1.33.500-gke.63 runs on Kubernetes v1.33.5-gke.2200. After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for installations or upgrades with the GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform. If you use a third-party storage vendor, check the Google Distributed Cloud-ready storage partners document to make sure the storage vendor has already passed the qualification for this release of Google Distributed Cloud for bare metal.
