What's new with Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes

Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes is updated on an ongoing basis. To stay up to date with the most recent developments, this article provides you with information about recent releases of the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes agents.

When any of the Arc-enabled Kubernetes agents are updated, all of the agents in the azure-arc namespace are incremented with a new version number, so that the version numbers are consistent across agents. When a new version is released, all of the agents are upgraded together to the newest version (whether or not there are functionality changes in a given agent), unless you disabled automatic upgrades for the cluster.

We generally recommend using the most recent versions of the agents. The version support policy covers the most recent version and the two previous versions (N-2).
