Container Images

All container images are available as manifest lists and support the described architectures. It is also possible to pull a specific architecture directly by adding the "-$ARCH" suffix to the container image name.

Changelog since v1.34.7

Changes by Kind

Bug or Regression

Fixed a bug where 64 bit IPv6 ServiceCIDRs allocated addresses outside the subnet range. (#138385, @hoskeri) [SIG Network]
Fixed a scheduler bug where replacing a Pod with the same name during a failed scheduling attempt could leave stale in-flight queue state and unbounded growth of in-flight event tracking. The scheduler now clears in-flight state using the UID from the scheduling attempt, not only the UID on the refreshed Pod object. (#138435, @Argh4k) [SIG Scheduling]
Fixed stale remote HNS endpoint cleanup on Windows when a pod IP is reused across nodes in L2Bridge networks, preventing DNS timeouts caused by traffic being routed to the wrong node. (#138601, @princepereira) [SIG Network and Windows]
Kube-proxy does not perform full-sync operations when operation in large cluster mode (more than 1000 endpoints) (#138637, @aojea) [SIG Network]
Kubeadm: during 'kubeadm init', if the default 'admin.conf' and 'super-admin.conf' paths are used, load the files, but construct in memory kubeconfigs that point to the InitConfiguration.localAPIEndpoint instead of the ClusterConfiguration.controlPlaneEndpoint. This would resolve issues with delayed load balancers which are provisioned only after the first kube-apiserver instance starts. (#138685, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
Kubeadm: skip LocalAPIEndpoint defaulting on 'kubeadm join' for worker nodes. (#138804, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
Kubeadm: use a dedicated ClusterRole 'system:kubelet-api-admin' for the kube-apiserver kubelet client. (#138960, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
Kubeadm: when checking the etcd cluster status use a quorum approach, instead of considering the health of all members. This would allow the check to not fail if there are sufficient healthy voting members. (#138540, @ahrtr) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
Kubelet_pod_start_sli_duration_seconds_bucket metric now matches pod startup latency SLI/SLO documentation. (#138156, @alimaazamat) [SIG Node]
