Platform/SRE — Plan: If you run Google Cluster Toolkit for HPC workloads, review the linked security bulletin and apply Slurm patches; no KEV or active exploitation signal, but a vulnerable job scheduler carries real risk. All other items (AlloyDB audit monitoring, MCP) are minor or pre-GA.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: The Public Preview of MCP support in API Gateway is an early signal for orgs evaluating AI-agent integration patterns — it shows GCP moving to expose REST APIs as agent tools without backend changes, worth tracking as the feature matures toward GA.
