Is metrics-server compatible with Kubernetes 1.37?
Cluster resource metrics for kubectl top and the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. The README publishes a compatibility matrix.
Supported Kubernetes version 1.34+.
Compatibility matrix: 0.9.x supports Kubernetes 1.34+, 0.8.x supports 1.31+, 0.7.x supports 1.27+. Metrics API group is metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1. Metrics Server follows the Kubernetes version skew policy: the kube-apiserver must be inside the supported range for that Metrics Server release.
Version grid
| metrics-server | 1.31 | 1.32 | 1.33 | 1.34 | 1.35 | 1.36 | 1.37 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.9 · current | Not supported | Not supported | Not supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| 0.8 | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| 0.7 | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported | Supported |
Empty-looking “not in the published matrix” cells were not listed by the project. They are not a guess that the combination fails.
Notes
Kubernetes versions lower than v1.16 need --authorization-always-allow-paths=/livez,/readyz. That does not apply to the minors in this grid. Helm chart name is metrics-server. The README runs registry.k8s.io/metrics-server/metrics-server:v0.9.1.

Managed Kubernetes end of support
