This release is rolling out to all regions
Important Service Updates
- AKS has introduced AKS Ubuntu 18.04 in preview. During this time we will provide both OS versions side by side. After AKS Ubuntu 18.04 is GA, on the next cluster upgrade, clusters running AKS Ubuntu 16.04 will receive this new image.
- For any cluster created on K8s 1.18 or above, AKS will default the kube-dashboard add-on to disabled moving forward.
- Kubernetes version 1.17 will GA on the week of July 1st and you will no longer be able to create 1.14.x based clusters or nodepools.
- Kubernetes 1.17 introduces API deprecations, please make sure your manifests are up to date before upgrading, and check Azure Advisor to confirm you are not using deprecated APIs. More information on 1.17 API deprecations here: https://v1-17.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/#deprecations-and-removals
