IPVS Is Deprecated in Kubernetes 1.35: What Actually Changes When kube-proxy Moves to nftables
Kubernetes 1.35 deprecates IPVS proxy mode in favor of nftables. Here's the concrete before/after — the load-balancing algorithm you lose, the conntrack behavior shift, and a node-by-node rollout sequence — for migrating a self-hosted fleet's kube-proxy before the next cluster upgrade.
