Supported versions

Charmed Kubernetes officially supports the most recent three (3) minor releases of Kubernetes.

Current Release: 1.24

Supported releases: 1.24.x,1.23.x, 1.22.x

Charmed Kubernetes bundle versions

Charmhub.io hosts the Charmed Kubernetes bundles as well as individual charms. To deploy the latest, stable bundle, run the command:

juju deploy charmed-kubernetes

It is also possible to deploy a specific version of the bundle by including the revision number. For example, to deploy the Charmed Kubernetes bundle for the Kubernetes 1.23 release, you could run:

juju deploy cs:charmed-kubernetes-862

The revision numbers for bundles are generated automatically when the bundle is updated, including for testing and beta versions, so it isn’t always the case that a higher revision number is ‘better’. The revision numbers for the release versions of the Charmed Kubernetes bundle are shown in the table below:

Finding version info

To check which versions of Kubernetes are available, use the snap info command:

snap info kube-apiserver

Keep in mind that although snap info enumerates all available versions, only the latest three stable versions are officially supported:

name:      kube-apiserver
summary:   Kubernetes master component that exposes the Kubernetes API.

description: |
  Kube-apiserver is the front-end for the Kubernetes control plane. It validates and configures data
  for the api objects which include pods, services, replicationcontrollers, and others. The API
  Server services REST operations and provides the frontend to the cluster’s shared state through
  which all other components interact.
