# CloudNative.Now

**[CloudNative.Now](https://daily.dev/sources/cloudnative)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A monthly cloud native roundup covering Kubernetes v1.37 release notes, a raft of blog posts and tools on Kubernetes internals (probes, topology spread constraints, control planes, noisy neighbour problems), security writeups (Tailscale/Hugging Face incident, homelab hack postmortem, API server proxy network policy bypass), new tools (Flux Mirror, Gateway API v1.6, kiac, KubeElasti), and a list of upcoming cloud native conferences and CFPs. Also includes personal notes from the newsletter author about travel and upcoming speaking engagements.

## Questions this post answers

### What's new in Kubernetes v1.37?

Kubernetes v1.37, codenamed Garhwal, introduces a mix of new Stable, Beta, and Alpha features across 67 enhancements, continuing the project's regular release cadence. The release reflects ongoing community-driven development rather than a single headline feature, following the same pattern as prior Kubernetes releases.

_daily.dev keeps platform teams current on each new Kubernetes release before rollout decisions are made._

### How many Kubernetes clusters are still using the deprecated EKS authentication method?

81% of clusters still run the deprecated EKS authentication method that AWS has flagged for deprecation, according to fleet analysis referenced in a security-focused writeup. This highlights a broad gap between deprecation announcements and actual migration in production Kubernetes environments, especially as legacy access controls compound with expanding AI workload risks.

_Teams tracking EKS deprecations and cluster security posture follow updates like this on daily.dev._

### What changed in Gateway API version 1.6.0 for Kubernetes networking?

Gateway API 1.6 graduates TCPRoute and UDPRoute to Standard channel status, expanding the spec's layer 4 protocol routing beyond the previously stabilized HTTP and TLS layer 7 traffic support. It also introduces cleaner API boundaries meant to separate stable functionality from experimental extensions, building on Gateway API's role as the standard for role-oriented Kubernetes service networking.

_Engineers evaluating Gateway API adoption track spec graduations like this through daily.dev._
