GCP Release Notes: October 01, 2025

Google Kubernetes Engine

Feature

The InPlaceOrRecreate mode for Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) is now available for Public Preview in GKE.

This mode uses In-Place Pod Resize (IPPR/IPPU), which allows VPA to automatically adjust workload resources, without requiring Pod recreation. This seamless rightsizing capability helps ensure better service continuity and helps minimize costs by optimizing resource allocation, particularly during idle periods.

VPA is enabled by default in Autopilot clusters. For Standard clusters, you must first enable VPA. For more information on configuring a VPA object, see Set Pod resource requests automatically.
