Kubernetes v1.34 for Rafay MKS

As part of our continuous effort to bring the latest Kubernetes versions to our users, support for Kubernetes v1.34 will be added soon to the Rafay Operations Platform for MKS cluster types.

Both new cluster provisioning and in-place upgrades of existing clusters are supported. As with most Kubernetes releases, this version also deprecates and removes a number of features. To ensure there is zero impact to our customers, we have made sure that every feature in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform has been validated on this Kubernetes version. This will be promoted from Preview to Production in a few days and will be made available to all customers.

Kubernetes v1.34 Release

New Cluster Provisioning

Users of the Rafay platform can provision new clusters based on Kubernetes v1.34 using the supported interfaces. Shown below is a screenshot:

In-Place Upgrades

Users of the Rafay platform with existing clusters based on Upstream Kubernetes (Rafay MKS) will be prompted to upgrade their clusters to Kubernetes v1.34. Note that upgrades for Rafay MKS are performed "in-place" and are "non-disruptive" to running applications. All upgrade operations are audited in the centralized audit logs, and users can view upgrade history by clicking on the upgrades tab. An illustrative example is shown below:

CNCF Conformance

Kubernetes v1.34 clusters provisioned and managed by Rafay are CNCF conformant. We have submitted the CNCF conformance results for v1.34, meeting all CNCF requirements as we do for every release. This conformance ensures that Rafay's support for Upstream Kubernetes adheres to the required APIs, maintaining compatibility with open source community versions.
