CLUSTER AUTOSCALER FIXES FLAKY TESTS, KOPS PATCHES CLOUD PROVIDER BREAKING CHANGES

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Cluster Autoscaler re-enabled printf vet checks after Go 1.24 upgrade while kops rushed out fixes for Hetzner API removal and Azure terraform v5 incompatibilities.

The autoscaler team landed a critical housekeeping PR that fixes flaky unit tests and re-enables printf format string validation after Go 1.24 started flagging failures [1]. The same day, dependabot bumped kubernetes libraries across autoscaler's vertical-pod-autoscaler to 0.37.0-beta.0 [2], bringing the project closer to the next k8s release cycle. Over in kops, three urgent cloud provider changes landed: Hetzner's removal of the Datacenter field from their API forced an upgrade to hcloud-go/v2 v2.47.0 to avoid marking every server as needing updates [3], while Azure's terraform provider v5 breaking changes required argument renames in generated configs [4]. On the security front, kubernetes/release bumped go-git/v5 to pull in golang.org/x/crypto v0.52.0 for a security fix [5]. Documentation continues across the website desk with Spanish translation of drain-node guidance [6] and Chinese syncs of contributor and storage documentation [7][8][9].
