Kubernetes v1.37: Native Histograms Graduates to Beta
I'm excited to announce that native histogram support for Kubernetes metrics is graduating to Beta and is enabled by default in Kubernetes v1.37! Native histograms (previously introduced as Alpha in Kubernetes v1.36 under KEP-5808) bring high-resolution, low-cardinality observability to Kubernetes metrics. By adopting Prometheus Native Histograms, Kubernetes components now expose latency and duration metrics with far greater accuracy while significantly reducing telemetry storage and scraping overhead. Why move beyond classic histograms?Since the early days of Kubernetes observability, duration and latency metrics (such as API server request latencies or scheduling durations) have relied on classic Prometheus histograms.

Kubernetes v1.37: Memory QoS Graduates to Beta
Memory QoS has graduated to Beta in Kubernetes v1.37 and is now enabled by default. On Linux nodes running cgroup v2, the feature uses the memory controller to give the kernel better guidance on how to treat container memory. It was first introduced as Alpha in v1.22, and expanded in v1.36 with tiered memory reservation. This post covers what changed in v1.37, what the Beta promotion means for cluster operators, and how to configure the feature.

Kubernetes Changed Block Tracking API - Beta Differences
Changed Block Tracking (CBT) support for CSI drivers shipped as Alpha in September 2025. With the March 2026 v1.0.0 release of the external-snapshot-metadata project, the feature moved to Beta. If you aren't yet familiar with changed block tracking for storage in Kubernetes, the Alpha announcement covers the motivation, the three primary components (the CSI SnapshotMetadata gRPC service, the SnapshotMetadataService CRD, and the external-snapshot-metadata sidecar), and a walkthrough of how to use the API. CBT currently applies to block volumes; file-volume and network file-share changed-list tracking is not covered by this feature. This post focuses on what is different in Beta.
