On May 1, 2024, Amazon will no longer offer standard support for version 1.25 (it has already ended for v1.24 and 1.23). Version 1.26 standard support ends on June 11, 2024, and v1.27 ends July 24, 2024. When standard support ends, your AWS support costs will increase 6x if you’re still running one of these older versions of Kubernetes.
Upgrading to the next version requires research, time from senior site reliability engineers, prep time, and testing. At the same time, using updated versions help you ensure the security and reliability of your infrastructure — and take advantage of new features.
Fairwinds can make the upgrade easy for you and make your Kubernetes infrastructure more efficient at the same time, saving you time and money. Contact us today to see how easy the upgrade can be.
