What shipped
- Kubernetes API operations in scaling loops now have a configurable timeout via KEDA_KUBERNETES_API_TIMEOUT to prevent indefinite blocking. Pull request #8174
- Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed Scaler added as a native internal scaler supporting both .NET and Java SDK lease formats with HMAC and workload identity authentication. Pull request #7557
- Prometheus Scaler now supports OAuth2 client credentials authentication through TriggerAuthentication. Pull request #8064
- Kafka Scaler added support for GSSAPI authentication using Kerberos credential cache files. Pull request #8069
- Azure Pipelines Scaler fixed scaling out correctly with the default strategy when agents are already running. Pull request #7905
- Azure Monitor Scaler now supports an optional metricInterval parameter to control the granularity of returned metrics. Pull request #7526
- Splunk Observability Scaler fixed lifecycle issues by properly coordinating query cancellation during teardown. Pull request #8134
- HashiCorp Vault token renewal fixed a panic that occurred when RenewSelf failed. Pull request #7940
- Metrics API Scaler now rejects unsupported authentication modes at configuration time instead of silently ignoring them. Pull request #8178
- StreamMetricSpec cache fixed to properly handle empty metric specs lists. Pull request #8116
Why it matters
This week adds significant authentication improvements across multiple scalers with OAuth2 and Kerberos support, introduces a new Azure Cosmos DB scaler, and resolves critical lifecycle and timeout issues that affected reliability. The fixes to scaling behavior and configuration validation improve operator stability.

KEDA this week: Azure Cosmos DB scaler, OAuth2 & Kerberos auth support, Kubernetes API timeouts, and fixes for Azure Pipelines and Vault integration.
KEDA updates this week bring new capabilities and fixes across multiple areas. The new Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed Scaler translates C# functionality to native Go. Prometheus, Kafka, and Metrics API scalers gain enhanced authentication support with OAuth2 and Kerberos. Critical reliability fixes address Kubernetes API timeouts, Azure Pipelines scaling, and token renewal issues.
