## Releases

### v2.20.2

- Date: 2026-07-31
- Version: v2.20.2
- Original notes: https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/tag/v2.20.2
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/keda/releases/v2.20.2

- **added** — Introduce a dedicated `HPAActive` condition on `ScaledObject` mirroring the HPA's own `ScalingActive` status, so transient HPA metric gaps no longer flip the `Ready` condition to `False`
- **fixed** — Fix concurrent map writes panic in the shared root CA `CertPool`
- **fixed** — Fix nil pointer dereference in AWS Secret Manager `TriggerAuthentication` when `awsSecretManager.credentials` is omitted and no `awsSecretManager.podIdentity` is set
- **fixed** — Fix nil pointer dereference in `customScalingStrategy.GetEffectiveMaxScale` when `customScalingQueueLengthDeduction` is omitted; the optional field is now treated as zero deduction instead of panicking
- **fixed** — Fix nil pointer dereference in `GetCurrentReplicas` when a Deployment/StatefulSet/ReplicaSet is returned from the informer cache with an undefaulted `spec.replicas`; a nil value is now treated as the Kubernetes default of 1 instead of panicking
- **fixed** — Fix `ScaledJob` CRD validation to include "default" as a valid value for `scalingStrategy.strategy`
- **fixed** — Guard `GetCurrentReplicas` against nil `Status.ScaleTargetGVKR` to prevent operator panics under the cache race condition
- **fixed** — Restore core `""` API group in events RBAC so that client-go's event broadcaster can write legacy events
- **fixed** — Restore gRPC reconnect backoff in the metrics service client; an unset `Backoff` in `WithConnectParams` disabled backoff and caused a zero-delay reconnect loop that flooded logs when keda-operator was unreachable
- **changed** — Share HTTP transports across scalers to reuse connection pools and avoid re-dial storms at high ScaledObject counts
- **fixed** — Treat negative external metric values as zero to prevent incorrect HPA scaling
- **fixed** — Fix `globPattern` in Azure Blob Storage Scaler never matching when written in path-style with a leading `/`, since blob names never have one
- **fixed** — Disconnect the MongoDB Scaler client when the initial `Ping` fails so the background topology-monitoring connections opened by `mongo.Connect` are not leaked

We are happy to release KEDA 2.20.0 🎉


###### ⚠️ Upgrade note: events moved to `events.k8s.io` ([#7781](https://github.com/kedacore/keda/pull/7781))

With the Kubernetes 0.35 dependency bump, KEDA now records Kubernetes events via the `events.k8s.io` API group instead of the legacy core `events` resource. If you deploy KEDA with **custom or restricted RBAC**, grant the operator `create`/`patch` on `events.k8s.io/events` **before upgrading**, otherwise event recording will fail. The bundled KEDA manifests and Helm chart already include the updated permissions.

###### Highlights:

- Introduce new OpenSearch Scaler
- Introduce Elastic Forecast Scaler
- Add `scalingModifiers` fallback behavior
- Add support for AWS External ID in TriggerAuthentication podIdentity for all AWS scalers
- Add scaler HTTP request metrics for outbound requests made during metric collection
