AKS defines a generally available version as a version enabled in all SLO or SLA measurements and available in all regions. AKS supports three GA minor versions of Kubernetes:
- The latest GA minor version released in AKS.
- Two previous minor versions.
AKS introduced commercial Long-Term Support (LTS) for all versions starting with 1.27. This extends support and security updates for two years, instead of the usual one year. Note that due to reliance on the upstream Kubernetes Community for component updates, several addons and features aren’t supported in LTS Support beyond one year.
Also:
- AKS release notes are available on https://github.com/Azure/AKS/.
- News about AKS can be received by following the AKS feed in Azure Updates.
- Release status by regions can be monitored at AKS-Release-Tracker.
- AKS Docs include an Upgrade Guide.
More information is available on the Azure Kubernetes Service website.
