Upgrade notes

When the platform changes under a working setup, nothing in your code changed, so nothing in your code explains the failure. Each page lists the changes that bite, the message you will see, a check to run before the change reaches you, and the official source.

  • DevOps deadlines, 2026 to 2029

    Certificate lifetimes, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and end-of-life dates for Kubernetes, EKS, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL and Linux, each with a check.

  • ubuntu-latest is moving to Ubuntu 26.04

  • Kubernetes 1.34 to 1.37: what breaks

    Kubelet flags, cgroup v1, static Pods, gitRepo, SELinux mounts and more, none of which an API deprecation checker sees.

  • Migrating off Ingress NGINX

    Retired in March 2026. The five behaviours a literal move to Gateway API drops, the 404s and lost redirects they cause, and how to find them first.

    5 changes

  • Helm 3 to Helm 4

    Arriving in CI with ubuntu-latest. Post-renderers, registry login and server-side apply, plus the open 4.2+ regressions that drop null values without an error.
