## The brief

Google Cloud’s September infrastructure roundup focuses on running larger fleets of AI agents. It introduces GKE Agent Substrate, adds scale-to-zero and custom-metric autoscaling capabilities, and describes pod snapshots that preserve workload state. Storage updates include preview Filestore agent volumes and new virtual-machine options. The pod-snapshot performance claim comes from Google’s internal testing, so results may differ across workloads.
