# Alluxio Kubernetes Operator 3.7.4 Release Notes

## Summary

### Bug Fixes

* **Integrated etcd monitoring** now works with the bundled Prometheus deployment, so etcd metrics are collected as expected.
* **CSI FUSE lifecycle management** more reliably removes completed FUSE pods that no longer serve a workload and replaces them when needed. This does not affect the expected handoff behavior during a hot upgrade.
* **FuseAttachment cleanup** no longer remains in the Terminating state when a manually deleted attachment has no staging path or mount point on the host.
* **Cluster configuration reconciliation** is more reliable in larger or long-running deployments. The cluster controller avoids the memory pressure that could interrupt propagation of `AlluxioCluster` changes, and Helm release history is limited to 10 revisions.
* **Helm installation safety** prevents a failed install from removing an already deployed release with the same name.
* **FUSE observability** is improved: CSI-managed FUSE metrics appear on bundled dashboards and duplicate metric series from init containers are removed.
* **S3 proxy startup** waits for bundled etcd to accept connections, preventing noisy startup errors when etcd is enabled.
