Managing planned maintenance is critical for ensuring business continuity and application performance. However, as your usage of cloud services grows, staying on top of maintenance schedules can be complex and time-consuming. Current approaches often result in inconsistent notifications and varying levels of control across different products. To help you avoid missed maintenance windows and disruptions, we are announcing the General Availability (GA) of Unified Maintenance, a centralized dashboard that lets you view and manage maintenance events across your Google Cloud services.
Unified Maintenance consolidates maintenance updates into a single view, making it easier to track upcoming events. With Unified Maintenance, you can:
-
View planned maintenance: See events for services like Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud SQL, Memorystore, AlloyDB, and Looker in one dashboard (see supported services).
-
Get standardized alerts: Receive consistent maintenance information through Cloud Logging, which allows you to set up alerts and integrate them with your existing monitoring or ticketing systems.
-
Understand your options: The dashboard clearly indicates which maintenance events offer user controls.
What’s next
We are working to add support for more Google Cloud services and enhance the platform’s capabilities. Our roadmap includes expanded scopes for folders and organizations, as well as application-level visibility.
You can access the Unified Maintenance dashboard directly in the Google Cloud console to view upcoming events for your subscribed services. To learn more about how to use these new features, read the documentation and the Get started guide.
