AKS releases weekly rounds of fixes and feature and component updates that affect all clusters and customers. It's important for you to know when a particular AKS release is hitting your region, and the AKS release tracker provides these details in real time by versions and regions.
Important
Starting on 30 November 2025, AKS will no longer support or provide security updates for Azure Linux 2.0. Starting on 31 March 2026, node images will be removed, and you'll be unable to scale your node pools. Migrate to a supported Azure Linux version by upgrading your node pools to a supported Kubernetes version or migrating to osSku AzureLinux3. For more information, see [Retirement] Azure Linux 2.0 node pools on AKS.
Overview
With AKS release tracker, you can follow specific component updates present in an AKS version release, such as fixes shipped to a core add-on, and node image updates for Azure Linux, Ubuntu, and Windows. The tracker provides links to the specific version of the AKS release notes to help you identify relevant release instances. Real time data updates allow you to track the release order and status of each region.
