KARPENTER LANDS IN KOPS, KUBE-PROXY CUTS CADVISOR DEPENDENCY

Kops now ships native Karpenter EC2NodeClass and NodePool support while kube-proxy eliminates its cadvisor dependency by reading CPU topology directly from cpuset.

Kops merged full managed Karpenter integration [1], giving operators declarative EC2NodeClass and NodePool configuration without leaving the kops cluster spec. This lands alongside command-line slice expansion [2], which now allows paths like `cluster.spec.addons[0].manifest` to create missing array elements on the fly, unblocking Gateway API CRD installation via the addon system. Across the cluster, kube-proxy shed its cadvisor dependency [3][4] in favor of cpuset.NumCPU() from k8s.io/utils, a cleaner read of actual node topology that matters for conntrack sizing under static CPU policies. The scheduler gained resourceVersion awareness in Pod status patches [5], tightening consistency guarantees. Test infrastructure is marching forward: CAPZ release-1.25 branch replaces EOL release-1.23 in periodic jobs [6], and the 5k-node scale job got realigned with non-experimental baselines [7]. On the warning front, kubelet now only surfaces missing pull secret alerts when image pulls actually fail [8], cutting noise for clusters that don't rely on private registries.
