## Fix Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.33.600-gke.39: * Fixed vulnerabilities listed in [Vulnerability fixes](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/vulnerabilities). * 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. * 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. * 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. * Fixed an issue where retrying the `gkectl upgrade admin` command after a previous failure could fail with "AlreadyExists" errors in the bootstrap cluster. * 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. * Fixed an issue where the system certificate pool was ignored when a custom CA certificate was configured for a registry mirror. ## Announcement Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.33.600-gke.39 is now available for download.
