K8S 0.35.5 ROLLS ACROSS THE STACK
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes
Kubernetes 0.35.5 is propagating through core dependencies across node-problem-detector, cloud-provider-vsphere, and test infrastructure, along with a batch of routine security and testing updates.
The k8s.io/api and k8s.io/client-go bump to 0.35.5 [1] is moving through node-problem-detector, where it pairs with updates to apimachinery and component-base across test directories. Cloud-provider-vsphere is tracking the same 0.35.5 release in its test e2e suite [4], signaling coordinated API surface changes worth watching. Test infrastructure added 1.36 e2e tests for kueue [2] and rolled test-infra base images to Alpine 3.20 [3] to resolve Python version conflicts in gcloud tooling. The vsphere provider also bumped golang.org/x/net to 0.55.0 and ginkgo/v2 to 2.29.0 [5], the latter introducing GinkgoHelperGo for better goroutine test handling. Documentation sync continues across Korean, Chinese, and French localization branches [6], [7], [8], typical housekeeping that won't block production workloads.
