Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.34.900-gke.135 is now available

## Announcement Announcement Google Distributed Cloud (software only) for VMware 1.34.900-gke.135 is now available for download. To upgrade, see [Upgrade a cluster](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/how-to/upgrading). Google Distributed Cloud 1.34.900-gke.135 runs on Kubernetes v1.34.7-gke.200. If you use a third-party storage vendor, check the listing of our previously-qualified [storage partners](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/enterprise/docs/resources/partner-storage). After a release, it takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the version to become available for use with GKE On-Prem API clients: the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, and Terraform. ## Fix Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.34.900-gke.135: * Fixed vulnerabilities listed in [Vulnerability fixes](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs/vulnerabilities). * Fixed an issue where user clusters repeatedly alternated between `Reconciling`and `Running` states if the management cluster configured a different pod density than the user cluster. * Updated `etcd` to `v3.5.33-0-gke.3` to address security vulnerabilities CVE-2026-46595 and CVE-2026-39821. * Fixed an issue where `gkectl diagnose` and preflight validations failed to locate `PersistentVolume` datastores for user clusters deployed in a separate vSphere datacenter from the admin cluster (`cpNodesInAdminDatacenter: true`). * Fixed an issue where deleting a cluster could get stuck because the node pool controller attempted to recreate machine resources while deletion was in progress.
