Announcements

• AKS is retiring v1.22.x on December 4th 2022. Please upgrade your clusters to v1.23 and above.
• Starting with Kubernetes 1.25, the following changes will be made default:
  • Ubuntu 22.04 for x86, AMD and ARM64 architectures will be the default host.
• Some AKS labels are being deprecated with the Kubernetes 1.26 release. Update your AKS labels to the recommended substitutions. See more information on label deprecations and how to update your labels in the Use labels in an AKS cluster documentation. beta.kubernetes.io/arch= and beta.kubernetes.io/os= are still applied by kubelet in kubernetes code.
• Docker is no longer supported as a container runtime on Windows. Follow these steps in our documentation to upgrade your Kubernetes cluster to change your container runtime to containerd.
• Kubernetes 1.25 is in preview. We support Kubernetes 1.25.2.
• AKS will be enforcing the de-allocated clusters policy which specifies that manually de-allocating clusters renders the cluster out of support. Starting November 1, 2022 clusters with zero nodes will be stopped after 30 days.
• Virtual Node is supported in these additional regions.
