Kubernetes v1.37 Sneak Peek
Operators relying on kube-proxy ipvs mode or cgroup v1 must plan migrations, as ipvs mode will be removed by v1.43 and cgroup v1 support will eventually be dropped entirely.

The stabilization of the metrics API ensures long-term reliability for core features like the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
