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

06/21/2022, 9:01 AMwhat 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

06/21/2022, 10:11 AM@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 ?

06/21/2022, 10:16 AMso like 1.24 1.23 & 1.22 ?
m
miniature-journalist-28760
06/21/2022, 10:16 AMCorrect
I'm sorry for confusing you with those version numbers
c
careful-piano-35019
06/21/2022, 10:17 AMit follows k8s versions https://kubernetes.io/releases/
m
miniature-journalist-28760
06/21/2022, 10:18 AMOh ok. So, k3s too would maintain the most recent three release versions. Correct ?
c
careful-piano-35019
06/21/2022, 10:19 AMthree 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

06/21/2022, 10:38 AMThanks. Please can you tell me the eol date for v1.23.4+k3s1.

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