  • Introduce deprecation & breaking change policy (docs)
  • Introduce off-the-shelf Grafana dashboard for application autoscaling
  • Introduce improved operational metrics in Prometheus
  • Introduce capability to cache metric values for a scaler during the polling interval (experimental feature)

Here are the breaking changes of this release:

  • Change API version of HPA from autoscaling/v2beta2 to autoscaling/v2 (#2462)
  • As per our support policy, Kubernetes v1.23 or above is required and support for Kubernetes v1.22 or below was removed (docs)

Here are the new deprecation(s) as of this release:

  • Prometheus metrics on KEDA Metric Server are deprecated in favor of Prometheus metrics on KEDA Operator (#3972 | Discussion)
