Is Karpenter compatible with Kubernetes 1.37?
Kubernetes node provisioner. The project publishes a Kubernetes compatibility matrix as a minimum Karpenter version per minor.
Requires 1.15.x.
The compatibility matrix lists a minimum Karpenter version for each Kubernetes minor from 1.31 through 1.37. Kubernetes 1.37 is listed as Karpenter 1.15.x, not as an open-ended greater-than range.

Notes
Regular minor releases are supported only until the next minor. LTS releases v1.14 (Jul 2026, EOL Jul 2027) and v1.9 (Feb 2026, EOL Feb 2027) are called out separately. The page says an LTS is not updated for Kubernetes minors released after that LTS.
