Hi I have a question which I need help with. I need to understand what is the support policy for older releases of k3s. Does k3s drop support for older releases once a new version is released or are previous versions supported but only till a given major release ? Thanks

what do you call support ?

if you have a look at the Releases page on GitHub you can see that K3s is released for multiple releases of Kubernetes https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases

@careful-piano-35019 But it doesn't say if or when support for a given version, say 3.5.2, would be dropped. That was what I was looking for. Please can you tell me where I can find more information on that.

Or to put it another way, do we say that version 3.5.2 is now End-Of-Life if version 4.0 is released ?

Correct

I'm sorry for confusing you with those version numbers

it follows k8s versions https://kubernetes.io/releases/

Oh ok. So, k3s too would maintain the most recent three release versions. Correct ?

three is a current number, but that's likely to change over time

and there are technically 4 currently https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/tag/v1.21.13%2Bk3s1 1.21.13 is the latest release of 1.21 which will be eol 2022-06-28

Thanks. Please can you tell me the eol date for v1.23.4+k3s1.

*End of Life:*2023-02-28

I don't think a K3s release has an EOL, it's replaced by a newer patch release
