Platform/SRE — Plan: Two GA releases are worth scheduling for adoption: native OTLP metric ingestion into Cloud Monitoring via the Telemetry API (evaluate replacing or supplementing existing collector pipelines), and Cloud SQL for MySQL performance capture with configurable thresholds for long-running transactions and new triggers like CPU, memory, and lock waits.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: The Telemetry API GA enables native OTLP ingestion into Cloud Monitoring, which may affect the build-vs-buy decision for third-party observability tooling on GCP; no strategic decision is required yet.
