Kubernetes v1.34 drops with 58 updates, and 23 just hit stable. Highlights: Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA), per-Pod resource limits, and secure image pulls using Pod-specific ServiceAccount tokens.
Scalability gets a lift from streaming list responses. Security tightens with finer anonymous auth rules. Observability picks up DRA health status. Lifecycle management scores container-level restart policies, swap support, and sleep-mode hooks.
System shift: Kubernetes keeps chipping toward precision APIs, smarter scheduling, and modular security stitched into every corner of the control plane.
