Compute Engine – logging serial port output to Stackdriver: beta

This feature enables you to configure your VM instances to automatically log

troubleshoot VMs that have crashed or terminated. Documentation

Compute Engine – mounting persistent disks into containers: beta

With Container-Optimized OS 69 or newer, you can now mount persistent disks
