## From the publisher

With the release of Kubernetes v1.37, the Pod-Level Resource Managers feature has graduated to Beta status (disabled by default)! First introduced as an Alpha feature in Kubernetes v1.36, this enhancement builds on Pod-Level Resources by equipping Kubelet's Topology Manager, CPU Manager, and Memory Manager to use Pod-level resource declarations (.spec.resources) directly when making hardware placement decisions. Bringing pod-level resources to node managers Before this feature, obtaining exclusive NUMA-aligned CPU cores or memory for latency-critical applications forced cluster operators into an all-or-nothing choice: assign integer resource requests to every container in the Pod, or forfeit exclusive NUMA alignment entirely.
