The following defects are fixed within the scope of this release: 

• CLOUD/AZURE: Fixed an ECA error reported by the Microsoft Azure Firewall during Azure cloud discovery. For more details, see (DRDC1-27507).
• CLOUD/GCP: Resolved an issue with missing Google Kubernetes Engine hosts. For more details, see (DRDC1-27632).
