The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) released Kubernetes 1.26 with the name Electrifying. The release has new features, such as Image Registry Changes, Dynamic Resource Allocation, and unhealthy pod eviction enhancements.
Also, there are beta features included in the release, such as non-graceful node shutdown, retroactive default storage class assignment, and an improved kubectl events subcommand.
Several features have been marked generally available or stable, such as support for mixed protocols, reserved service IP ranges, and windows privileged containers. In version 1.26, the CRI v1alpha2 API is deprecated and legacy authentication for Azure and GCP is removed.
