Kubernetes v1.36: PSI Metrics for Kubernetes Graduates to GA

calendar_today May 12, 2026 person domain kubernetes

Since its original implementation in the Linux kernel in 2018, Pressure Stall Information (PSI) has provided users with the high-fidelity signals needed to identify resource saturation before it becomes an outage. Unlike traditional utilization metrics, PSI tells the story of tasks stalled and time lost, all in nicely-packaged percentages of time across the CPU, memory, and I/O. With the recent release of Kubernetes v1.36, users across the ecosystem have a stable, reliable interface to observe resource contention at the node, pod, and container levels.
