Kubernetes version 1.34 is getting deprecated in SKE
Section titled “Kubernetes version 1.34 is getting deprecated in SKE”Kubernetes minor version 1.34 reaches the end of its official maintenance support on 27 October 2026.
This version will be removed from SKE on 14 October 2026 at 8 AM UTC. Starting with the date of removal, all clusters that are still using 1.34 will be automatically upgraded to 1.35 during the cluster’s maintenance time window.
In order to keep your cluster up-to-date, we synchronize the version lifecycle with the upstream Kubernetes lifecycle. Therefore, we expire Kubernetes minor versions on the patchday prior the End-of-Life (EOL) dates with Kubernetes.
Documentation for applying minor or patch updates is available in the official STACKIT Kubernetes Engine documentation. Additional guidance on the release process can be found in the STACKIT Kubernetes Engine Version Updates.
