Announcing Kubernetes version 1.24 for the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

We are excited to announce the availability of Kubernetes version 1.24 for your clusters that are running in IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. This is our 19th release of Kubernetes. With the Kubernetes service, you can easily upgrade your clusters without the need for deep Kubernetes knowledge. When you deploy new clusters, the default Kubernetes version remains 1.22; you can also choose to immediately deploy version 1.24. Learn more about deploying clusters here.

Kubernetes version 1.24

In addition to all the great Kubernetes features provided in this release, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service version 1.24 also includes numerous component updates. See the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service version 1.24 changelog for details.

Kubernetes support and updates

IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service now supports the latest versions of Kubernetes: 1.20, 1.21, 1.22, 1.23 and 1.24. Clusters that are running Kubernetes version 1.19 or earlier are unsupported. Clusters running version 1.20 remain deprecated with end of support tentatively scheduled for 15 June 2022. Clusters running version 1.21 are now deprecated with end of support tentatively scheduled for August 2022. 

It is important to note that clusters that run a deprecated or unsupported Kubernetes version may not receive fixes for security vulnerabilities until they are updated to a supported version. Review the potential impact of each Kubernetes version update, and update your clusters today.

For general questions, engage our team via Slack by registering here and join the discussion in the #general channel on our public IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Slack.

See what’s new in SingleStoreDB with IBM 8.0

3 min read - Despite decades of progress in database systems, builders have compromised on at least one of the following: speed, reliability, or ease. They have two options: one, they could get a document database that is fast and easy, but can’t be relied on for mission-critical transactional applications. Or two, they could rely on a cloud data warehouse that is easy to set up, but only allows lagging analytics. Even then, each solution lacks something, forcing builders to deploy other databases for…
