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 1.32 and lower EoL

• All clusters must be upgraded to at least Kubernetes v1.33 before upgrading from PMK 5.15.x to PMK 5.16

• Kubernetes v1.33 and lower versions are marked as End of Life on PMK 5.16

Kubernetes 1.33 Deprecated

• Kubernetes v1.33 is marked as deprecated.

• New clusters should be created on Kubernetes v1.34 or above. However, you can continue to create new clusters on Kubernetes v1.33 or above.
