# Kubernetes v1.37 Sneak Peek

**[Kubernetes](https://daily.dev/sources/k8s)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A preview of planned changes in Kubernetes v1.37, scheduled for August 26, 2026. Key deprecations include the `kubectl run --filename` flag, kube-proxy's ipvs mode (with full removal expected by v1.43), and static pods referencing Secrets or ConfigMaps. The cgroup v1 phase-out continues, with kubelet now failing to initialize on cgroup v1 nodes by default. Breaking changes include SELinuxMount graduating to GA, which may cause pods sharing volumes with different SELinux labels to fail. Notable enhancements include the metrics.k8s.io API finally graduating to stable after nine years in beta, kubelet Rootless Mode (UserNS) moving to beta, and a revamped Volume Health Monitor introducing four new CSI RPCs for machine-readable storage health reporting.
