Kubernetes compatibility

This release is compatible with the following Kubernetes versions:

Kubernetes version	Minimum required
v1.32	>= 1.32.0
v1.33	>= 1.33.0
v1.34	>= 1.34.1

[!NOTE]
Note that the Flux project offers support only for the latest three minor versions of Kubernetes.
Backwards compatibility with older versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift is offered by vendors such as
ControlPlane that provide enterprise support for Flux.

OpenShift compatibility

Flux can be installed on Red Hat OpenShift cluster directly from OperatorHub using Flux Operator. The operator allows the configuration of Flux multi-tenancy lockdown, network policies, persistent storage, sharding, vertical scaling and the synchronization of the cluster state from Git repositories, OCI artifacts, and S3-compatible storage.

Upgrade procedure

⚠️ The Flux APIs v1beta1 and v2beta1 (deprecated in 2023) have reached end-of-life and have been removed from the CRDs.

Unless you are using Flux Operator to deploy the Flux controllers, you must run the flux migrate command on clusters before upgrading.

For more details, please refer to the Flux v2.7 upgrade guide.
