Supported Kubernetes versions
This epic collects all our issues around adding and removing support for various Kubernetes versions.
For a single K8s version we might have multiple issues. Like having a separate issue for Auto DevOps and GitLab Managed Apps, or even a break-down of these.
For reference the list of currently supported versions can be found at https://docs.gitlab.com/user/clusters/agent/#supported-kubernetes-versions-for-gitlab-features.
When checking for support, also have a look at this page: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-guide/
## Version support process
We aim to add support to Kubernetes version 3 months after their original release.
Example process:
- Kubernetes 1.25 was released on August 24
- We evaluate the work needed to add support during the milestone starting on September 18, finishing on October 22
- We schedule the necessary work for the milestones ending in November and December
- We aim to have full support by December 22
