Upstream Kubernetes supports swap as a stable feature as of version 1.34.
Swap usage is now shown as part of the Memory resources service for Kubernetes hosts.
At the pod host level, swap usage across containers is summed and displayed. For workload, namespace, and cluster level hosts, swap usage is rolled up and summed, similarly to memory usage.
Configurable thresholds are available under Kubernetes memory resource utilization.
