GCP key dates
Every dated GCP change that forces action, in one place: end-of-life and end-of-support deadlines, plus announced pricing changes, configuration-default changes, retirements and policy mandates that impact your stack and costs. What's changing, when, and how long you have. For day-to-day announcements, see the GCP release feed.
