Announcements

  • With this release, we are retiring older AKS hybrid versions: July 2023, Aug 2023 and Oct 2023. Please update your clusters to remain in support.

  • With this release, Kubernetes version 1.26 and below is out of support. Please ensure that you upgrade your clusters to remain in support.

  • For customers using AKS on Windows Server 2019, be aware that it has reached end of mainstream support, we recommend customers to upgrade to Windows Server 2022 if possible.

  • We’ve previously announced the 3-year retirement of Windows Server 2019 on AKS hybrid. Please ensure you upgrade to Windows Server 2022 to remain in support.

  • Flannel CNI option has been deprecated, and no support will be offered. This option will be removed in the next release of AKS hybrid.

  • If you’re using AKS on Azure Local, version 22H2, be aware that Azure Local, version 22H2 will reach end of service by May 2025. After that, you won't receive monthly security and quality updates that provide protection from the latest security threats. To continue receiving updates, we recommend updating your operating system to  version 23H2. Uninstall AKS on Azure Local, version 22H2 before you apply the solution upgrade since AKS versions are incompatible between Azure Local, version 22H2 and Azure Local, version 23H2.

What's New

  • We’ve fixed GitHub issue 282. Previously, if you installed AKS hybrid in an environment with Az.Accounts > 2.7 installed, the installation would fail at the Arc onboarding stage. With this release, you can now use the latest version of Az.Accounts, with support for encrypted service principal.

  • In order to install AKS hybrid in an environment with Az.Accounts > 2.7, in addition to passing the -credential parameter during Set-AksHciRegistration, you also need to pass the $credential parameter during Install-AksHci: Install-AksHci -credential $credential

Bug Fixes

  • Users can now run Enable-AksHciArcConnection after Disable-AksHciArcConnection.

  • Improved error messages when create/update AKS cluster hits timeout issues.

  • Reduced RBAC scope of CSI plugin to VM update operation only.

  • Block logical network deletion if it is currently used by an AKS cluster.
