Upgrade Compatibility Tables
The latest DKP versions for Kubernetes, applications, and components are available on this page. Individual sections will have links to pages with further information if required.
Supported Operating Systems
The supported Operating System (OS) is important for upgrades. During an upgrade, you would need to create new AMI’s or images with the Kubernetes version to which you want to upgrade. That requires selecting an OS and ensuring you have the right version. Check the Supported Infrastructure Operating Systems page if you have not already done so.

Kubernetes Version Supported
Below are the supported Kubernetes versions for both deployment and attachment:
Deploying Clusters Versions
The latest supported Kubernetes versions for DKP are listed below. In DKP 2.8.x, the Kubernetes version installed by default is 1.28.7. The newest and oldest Kubernetes versions used with DKP must be within one minor version.
Latest supported Kubernetes version is at 1.28.7 for deploying clusters
Other Kubernetes versions are supported at 1.27.9 for deploying clusters in EKS
Kubernetes 1.28.x enables you to benefit from the latest features and security fixes in upstream Kubernetes. This release comes with 60 enhancements that you can benefit from such as Node log access via Kubernetes API, Seccomp profile defaulting, and much more.
To read more about major features in this release, visit this page and https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/08/15/kubernetes-v1-28-release/ .
Attaching Clusters Versions
DKP 2.8.x supports attaching clusters with the following Kubernetes versions:
Product | Compatible Kubernetes Versions |
---|---|
EKS | 1.27.9 |
AKS | 1.28.x |
GKE | 1.27.x |
Attaching Kubernetes clusters with versions greater than n-1 is not recommended.
When attempting to attach a cluster with a lower Kubernetes version than the DKP default, you need to build and use an image with that lower version of Kubernetes. See Konvoy Image Builder for documentation on building images. Failure to do this could result in an error.
