This release updates Kubernetes to v1.22.5, and fixes a number of minor issues.
For more details on what's new, see the Kubernetes release notes.
Known Issues
- #2323: When using embedded etcd and the initial server is started with --agent-token, and this agent-only token does not match the server --token value, additional servers cannot join the cluster. This will be fixed in a subsequent release.
 - #1447: When restoring RKE2 from backup to a new node, you should ensure that all pods are stopped following the initial restore:
 
curl -sfL https://get.rke2.io | sudo INSTALL_RKE2_VERSION=v1.22.3+rke2r1
rke2 server \
  --cluster-reset \
  --cluster-reset-restore-path=<PATH-TO-SNAPSHOT> --token <token used in the original cluster>
rke2-killall.sh
systemctl enable rke2-server
