k8s: Kubernetes v1.35: Fine-grained Supplemental Groups Control Graduates to GA

Kubernetes Official Blog

2025-12-23

Kubernetes v1.35 graduates fine-grained supplemental groups control to GA via a new Pod field, supplementalGroupsPolicy, letting clusters choose whether to merge group memberships from the container image (/etc/group) or enforce only groups declared in the Pod (Strict) to reduce implicit, hard-to-audit GIDs and improve security (especially for volume access).

k8s: Kubernetes v1.35: Kubelet Configuration Drop-in Directory Graduates to GA

Kubernetes Official Blog

2025-12-22

Kubernetes v1.35 graduates the kubelet configuration drop-in directory to GA: the --config-dir kubelet flag is now production-ready and automatically merges drop-in files with the main kubelet configuration. This simplifies managing different kubelet settings across heterogeneous node pools and supports staged rollouts and targeted overrides without complex tooling.

k8s: Kubernetes 1.35: In-Place Pod Resize Graduates to Stable

Kubernetes Official Blog

2025-12-19

Kubernetes 1.35 graduates In-Place Pod Resize (In-Place Pod Vertical Scaling) to stable (GA). The feature makes CPU and memory requests and limits mutable on a running Pod (via a resize subresource), often without restarting containers. This enables non-disruptive resource adjustments, more powerful autoscaling (e.g., VPA InPlaceOrRecreate), transient boosts like CPU startup boost, and better resource efficiency. The release also adds prioritized retries, allows memory limit decreases (best-effort OOM protection), alpha support for Pod Level Resources, and new kubelet metrics/events. Work remains on runtime support, scheduler/kubelet races, expanded feature support, and integrations with autoscalers and other projects.
