How long does kubernetes officially support each version?
Kubernetes releases are usually supported for 9 months, during which time, if serious bugs or security issues are found, a patch version will be released in the corresponding branch.
For example, the current version is v1.10.1, and when the community fixes some bugs, the v1.10.2 version will be released.
The official support hours are as follows:
| Kubernetes version | Release month | End-of-life-month |
|---|---|---|
| v1.6.x | March 2017 | December 2017 |
| v1.7.x | June 2017 | March 2018 |
| v1.8.x | September 2017 | June 2018 |
| v1.9.x | December 2017 | September 2018 |
