Hello Kubernetes community!

The v1.34 release cycle has begun and we are now actively collecting enhancements.

Actions Required:

SIG Leads:

Discuss within your SIG which enhancements you will be proposing for this release
Opt in for enhancements by applying the current milestone (v1.34) and "lead-opted-in" label on the tracking issues in kubernetes/enhancements[1]

Enhancements owners:

Ensure your enhancements meet the following requirements[2]
Open an issue in kubernetes/enhancements[1]
Ensure that a kep.yaml exists with:

status[3] set to `implementable`
latest-milestone[4] set to the current release

A README.md exists that:

uses the latest template[5]
has the updated test plan[6] section filled out

A Production Readiness Review[7] has been completed

Reviewers/Approvers:

Please add the “kind/deprecation” label to PRs as appropriate (this is a big help for the Comms team!)

Enhancements will be tracked throughout the release using the 1.34 Enhancements Tracking GitHub Project board[8]. More information on the enhancements process can be found on the kubernetes/enhancements[1] repository.

All enhancements should plan to opt-in well before the Production Readiness Review Freeze (Thursday, 12th June 2025) to ensure adequate time for reviews. Enhancements opted-in after this deadline will be at risk for inclusion in the release.
