New

• Kubernetes v1.34 (v1.34.1) is now available on LKE. You can review the official Kubernetes blog post and changelog for more details.

🚧

As a reminder, Kubernetes v1.31 on LKE is approaching EOL. If you still have LKE clusters using v1.31, you have been sent notification of your scheduled automatic upgrade. You can also manually upgrade at any point using the Upgrade a cluster to a newer Kubernetes version guide.

Changed

• Cluster control planes have been updated to the following Kubernetes versions:
  • v1.32 has been updated from 1.32.8 to 1.32.9
  • v1.33 has been updated from 1.33.4 to 1.33.5
• CoreDNS has been upgraded from 1.12.3 to 1.13.1
• We now utilize open-source kernel modules for NVIDIA GPUs (instead of proprietary drivers). See NVIDIA's corresponding blog post: NVIDIA Transitions Fully Towards Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules.
