]]>Python 3.11 is now available in Colab Enterprise. Existing runtimes and runtime templates will remain using Python 3.10. For more information, see Python versions.
When you create a runtime template, you can now configure it to use the latest Python version available to Colab Enterprise, or you can specify the Python version. Using Latest is a new option that means when a new version of Python is introduced to Colab Enterprise, runtimes that you create will use the latest Python version.
Existing runtime templates and runtimes remain using their current Python version (Python 3.10). This includes existing auto-generated default runtime templates. To create default runtime templates that use Latest, you must do one of the following:

]]>You can now use customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) to protect notebooks in Colab Enterprise.
For more information, see Use customer-managed encryption keys.
]]>The notebook scheduler is now generally available. See Schedule a notebook run.
]]>Fixed an issue in which users weren't able to access the Colab Enterprise UI when Colab Service Status was OFF for everyone in Google Workspace.
]]>All Colab Enterprise runtimes are automatically configured with a 100 GiB boot disk in addition to the disk specified in the runtime template. Starting July 16, 2024, the boot disk of a newly created Colab Enterprise runtime automatically defaults to an SSD Persistent Disk. Previously, the boot disk default was a Standard Persistent Disk.
Because of this change, default boot disks of Colab Enterprise runtimes are billed as SSD Persistent Disks instead of Standard Persistent Disks. For more information, see Colab Enterprise pricing.
]]>You can now use customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) to protect runtimes in Colab Enterprise. Using CMEK for notebook files isn't currently supported.
