Addon-resizer 1.8.24 lands with new apiserver resource metrics, while perf-tests benchmark overhaul adds watch delay tracking and stable QPS enforcement.

The autoscaler team released addon-resizer 1.8.24 [1] to enable the component on Kubernetes 1.37, adding support for the apiserver_resource_objects metric that measures object count overhead on the control plane. In parallel, serathius shipped a comprehensive perf-tests improvement [2] that adds watch delay measurement via perflens inspection tools, resource tuning, and subroutine-based request execution to maintain stable QPS during benchmarks. Test infrastructure broke Go compatibility ground with a bump to Go 1.25 for 1.34 release jobs [3], dropping support for Go 1.24 and forcing downstream client-go users to pin v0.34.x if they need legacy compatibility. The release team cut a new releng image for gcb-docker-gcloud [4], and test-infra merged CAPI evaluation jobs using the new kubekins-e2e-v2 image [5] to measure impact on Kubernetes' primary integration test suite. VPA gained CodeRabbit review automation [6], and cloud-provider-gcp demoted noisy metis logs to debug level [7] to reduce signal noise in production clusters.

Action items

→ If running addon-resizer on 1.37, upgrade to 1.8.24 before next cluster update kubernetes/autoscaler [plan]
→ If building client-go on Go 1.24, pin to v0.34.x releases immediately kubernetes/test-infra [immediate]
→ Monitor new CAPI kubekins-e2e-v2 test results for regression signals kubernetes/test-infra [monitor]
