Kubernetes Updates on ClearLinux

Kubernetes on ClearLinux is currently on 1.19.X version and we are preparing to upgrade Kubernetes and supporting components to 1.20.X versions within the next few releases. Once updated, we will leave a note on this thread with the version that will carry 1.20.X versions. If you have active Kubernetes clusters on ClearLinux, the cluster needs to be updated while moving to the newer version. We have detailed guides on how to upgrade Kubernetes clusters on ClearLinux.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Release 35230 and beyond would contain kubernetes 1.20.X. If you have existing clusters on 1.19 or before, please follow the documentation on upgrading the clusters prior to moving past ClearLinux release 35230

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Release 35840 and beyond will carry Kubernetes 1.21.x. Please follow the documentation on steps to upgrade your existing clusters from past versions.

Now we have CL 41730 and more than two years since the last update for Kubernetes…

Can I upgrade that manually on my system? When I initialize a new cluster with kubeadm then I get this info:

remote version is much newer: v1.30.1; falling back to: stable-1.26

I can imagine, that k8s is not easy to work with and upgrades are risky… but when we wait so long it doesn’t get easier, right?
