Kubernetes v1.36: In-Place Vertical Scaling for Pod-Level Resources Graduates to Beta

Kubernetes v1.36 has graduated In-Place Pod-Level Resources Vertical Scaling to Beta, allowing users to update a running Pod's resource budget without restarting containers. This is particularly useful for complex Pods with shared resources. Users can now adjust the aggregate boundary on-the-fly, expanding the shared pool during peak demand. The Kubelet consults the resizePolicy defined within individual containers to determine if a restart is required. Users should check their container settings to decide if an update can be applied in-place or requires a restart.
