| The [ServiceAccount](/docs/concepts/security/service-accounts/) token integration for `kubelet` credential providers is likely to reach beta and be enabled by default in Kubernetes v1.34. | ||
| This allows the `kubelet` to use these tokens when pulling container images from registries that require authentication. |

is likely to reach beta - This KEP still has docs PR pending so it is technically possible that if those are not in, we might yank the KEP. But the probability of that seems low, so should we be using this. @lmktfy wdyt?

I do think it's good to be cautious. Here's a position we don't want contributors to be in: reluctant to do a yank because we previously promised that something would be in the next release.
There's a related aspect, precedent. If we treat all enhancements as possibly missing the next release, it's easy. But if we only list some, then contributors behind the "some" might complain or feel like they're not trusted or …
| The existing alpha integration allows the `kubelet` to use short-lived, automatically rotated ServiceAccount tokens (that follow OIDC-compliant semantics) to authenticate to a container image registry. | ||
| Each token is scoped to one associated Pod; the overall mechanism replaces the need for long-lived image pull Secrets. |

Thinking more about this, we're talking about the existing alpha integration. This feature is graduating to beta, in the sneak peek, shouldn't we be adding what's new in beta for this?
| This feature makes Deployment behavior more predictable by letting you choose when new pods should be created during updates or scaling. It's beneficial when working in clusters with tight resource constraints or with workloads with long termination periods. | ||

Ah, this KEP was yanked out of this release :( (Should we remove it?)

That's a good thing to bring up in the v1.34 retro, I think.
| [KEP-4951](https://kep.k8s.io/4951) introduces a new feature that allows users to configure autoscaling tolerance on a per-HPA basis, overriding the default cluster-wide 10% tolerance setting that often proves too coarse-grained for diverse workloads. The enhancement adds an optional `tolerance` field to the HPA's `spec.behavior.scaleUp` and `spec.behavior.scaleDown` sections, enabling different tolerance values for scale-up and scale-down operations, which is particularly valuable since scale-up responsiveness is typically more critical than scale-down speed for handling traffic surges. | ||
