kOps 1.36.0 landed overnight with full Kubernetes 1.36 support, a fundamental overhaul of addon management, and the final chapter of the in-tree cloud provider deprecation.

The release [1] moves kops-channels from a standalone binary to a static pod on control-plane nodes, simplifying cluster bootstrapping and eliminating a deployment vector. Alongside this, three release artifacts crossed the finish line: kOps 1.35.2, 1.36.0, and 1.37.0-alpha.1 binary and container images are now promoted and ready for distribution [2][3]. The kOps team also shipped a major quality-of-life win in their release pipeline [4], parallelizing GitHub artifact uploads and adding SHA256 validation before promotion, which will cut release times and catch corrupted binaries before they ship. On the core Kubernetes side, the test suite is getting leaner [5][6][7] with the removal of unnecessary feature tags and provider-specific tests that were creating maintenance burden, while the API layer now supports full 32-bit unsigned Linux UIDs in container status [8], fixing a long-standing limitation for systems using high UID ranges. The infrastructure teams are also preparing for regional expansion with experimental Azure EUAP region E2E testing [9][10] and splitting resource-intensive node tests into faster and slower tracks to fix timeout issues [11].
