Bug Fixes

Announcement

BigQuery now provides spend-based committed use discounts (CUDs). Spend-based committed use discounts provide a discount in exchange for your commitment to spend a minimum amount per hour on PAYG compute resources listed here. You can purchase CUDs with a one or three year commitment period.

Feature

You can now enable fine-grained access control on BigQuery metastore Iceberg tables. This feature is generally available (GA).

Changed

You can get the required permissions to use BigQuery data preparation through the BigQuery Studio User ( roles/bigquery.studioUser) and Gemini for Google Cloud User ( roles/cloudaicompanion.user) roles, and permission to access the data you're preparing.

BigQuery data preparation no longer requires that you have the permissions granted by the following IAM roles:

• BigQuery Data Editor( roles/bigquery.dataEditor)
• Service Usage Consumer ( roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageConsumer)

For more information about the required roles, see Manage data preparations.
