- watermelon0 3y agoNot sure about the others, but AWS EKS support closely follows upstream. Only recently they released paid extended support in preview, which extends support for an additional year.
- Arnavion 3y agoEKS still supports 1.24+ as part of "standard support". Upstream only supports 1.26+ (upstream's policy is "latest 3 versions").
- sciurus 3y agoEKS also added support for 1.24 seven months after the upstream release date. https://endoflife.date/amazon-eks https://endoflife.date/amazon-eks
- Kelkonosemmel 3y agoGKE does Auto upgrade and enforces them. You can't get a really old k8s version on gke
- mardifoufs 3y agoAks is usually like one version behind, and they deprecate older versions every 3 months IIRC. In a one year window of versions, that's not necessarily long term at all. The upgrade process is surprisingly kind of okay though, which is already a lot better than what I usually expect from Azure.
- emb3dded 3y agoAKS has LTS: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/generally-available-long-term-support-version-in-aks/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/generally-availabl...
- hot_gril 3y agoIs GKE actually much more stable? That's funny if so.
