Managed Kubernetes Support Matrix

On this page, you will find a list of Kubernetes releases, components and dependent packages that are bundled with the latest release of Platform9 Managed Kubernetes.

Support for Kubernetes versions is predicated on upstream support of each version, as detailed here. Platform9 may include Kubernetes versions that have reached end-of-maintenance or end-of-life in a release, these Kubernetes packages are automatically marked as deprecated and should not be used for creating new clusters.

Kubernetes 1.23 has reached upstream End of Life as of 2023-02-28. Platform9 marks Kubernetes 1.23 as EOL with PMK 5.9. New clusters should be built on v1.25 or above.
