Kubernetes ships v1.37.0-rc.1

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes

Kubernetes drops its first release candidate for v1.37, and a scheduler test flake gets fixed.

Kubernetes released v1.37.0-rc.1 [1], the first release candidate for the upcoming minor version, packed with a full CHANGELOG and binaries ready for pre-release evaluation. The release robot also updated the CHANGELOG directory to match [2], so the docs are in sync. Meanwhile, a flaky scheduler unit test got fixed: the PR by Rajalakshmi-Girish resolves the race condition in TestPreQueueingHint_Metrics where metric flushing caused intermittent failures under stress [3]. As the PR explains, "The Unit test `TestPreQueueingHint_Metrics` flakes when run with stress" [4]. This is a small but meaningful stability win for anyone running scheduler test suites in CI. With only 2 commits and 1 PR this period, the stack is quiet, but the release candidate is the headline. Action: test v1.37.0-rc.1 in your pre-prod clusters now and track stability issues before the final release.
