Kops exposes kubelet burst and fixes IPv6-only node registration
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
Kops shipped two kubelet/networking fixes that change real cluster behavior, plus a Karpenter bump to v1.15.1 that crosses three upstream releases.
feat(kubelet): add kubeAPIBurst to the kubelet spec kubernetes/kops
The kubelet spec exposed kubeAPIQPS but no burst setting, so raising QPS above 100 still queued requests behind the default burst bucket of 100; kubeAPIBurst now sits next to kubeAPIQPS and is passed through as --kube-api-burst, with negative values rejected in validation.
fix(aws): set PrimaryIPv6 to true when launching on subnets with an IPv6 CIDR kubernetes/kops
Instances on IPv6-only subnets failed target group association with "The following targets cannot be used with this IPv6 target group because of missing primary IPv6 addresses"; kops now sets the ENI's PrimaryIPv6 to true at launch. Note the side effect the PR calls out: while the ENI is attached, the primary IPv6 address cannot be released.
Upgrade Karpenter to v1.15.1 kubernetes/kops
The Karpenter controller image and Helm chart move from v1.13.0 to v1.15.1, crossing v1.14.0 and v1.15.0, and the regenerated addon manifest adds the CapacityBuffer CRD with matching RBAC. The policy also gains ec2:RebootInstances.
docs: add third-party dependency update guide for agents kubernetes/kops
Two new docs cover updating the third-party versions kops pins: a per-pin reference at docs/dependency-updates.md aimed at automated agents and linked from AGENTS.md, and a contributor guide at docs/contributing/updating-dependencies.md.
Merge pull request #10115 from ArangoGutierrez/codex/nfd-v0.20.1 kubernetes/k8s.io
Elsewhere in the registries, k8s.io promoted NFD v0.20.1 images and Helm chart, ExternalDNS v0.24.0, and new smb and nfs images, while test-infra refreshed its staging image-builder and alpine images.
