I'm really intrigued by the new features in the latest Kubernetes version, v1.35. But I'm curious—do these features actually make a difference when it comes to large-scale infrastructure? Has anyone had the chance to deploy this version in a production environment yet? If you have, I'd love to hear about your experience so I can figure out if I should give it a go myself.

I'd suggest checking out features like in-place pod resizing and topology labels via downward API as a starting point. They look promising!
I completely agree! I was surprised this wasn’t available before; it seems like such a basic requirement.
I’ve put it in my test environment but haven't really pushed any boundaries. To be honest, I'm not seeing anything groundbreaking that compels a huge rush to upgrade.
I totally recommend updating your dev cluster first—it’s a safer way to test things out! The upgrade process can reveal unexpected issues, so it’s better to play it safe in a test environment first.
Deploying these updates in production? Haha, that sounds a bit risky! I'm more interested in hearing if anyone is actually using it in a production setting and how smooth the upgrade process has been.
No way, I’m not rushing into this upgrade. I usually wait for a while to let everything settle before trying in development, then move to testing. I like to take it slow, it keeps everyone happy and I can focus on the gym and family while the engineers handle the actual updating!
That’s a great approach! Better safe than sorry. Sounds like a solid strategy.
Thanks for the heads up on that! Those features could really make a difference.
