The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) released Kubernetes 1.29 named Mandala last month. The latest release introduces new features such as load balancer IP mode for services, mutable pod resources for Windows containers, and nftables for the kube-proxy.
Some features have been elevated to beta, such as sidecar containers and the seperation of the node lifecycle controller from taint management.
There are several stable or generally available features in this release, such as KMS v2 encryption at rest and the addition of a new access mode called ReadWriteOncePod for persistent volumes.
