Canonical to Provide 12 Years of Kubernetes Support
Canonical is committing to 12 years of security maintenance and support, starting with Canonical Kubernetes 1.32.
“Canonical’s Kubernetes LTS (Long Term Support) will support FedRAMP compliance and receive at least 12 years of committed security maintenance and enterprise support on bare metal, public clouds, OpenStack, Canonical MicroCloud and VMware,” the announcement states.
“Constant Kubernetes upgrades are a drain on enterprise teams. Customers who deploy Canonical Kubernetes 1.32 LTS can focus on the future, because their clusters will receive security updates for 12 full years,” Mark Shuttleworth said.
Canonical Kubernetes 1.32 LTS is currently available and ready for production use. Read more at Canonical.
