## Long Term Support
135+
For customers that find it difficult to keep up with the upstream Kubernetes release cadence, AKS provides a Long Term Support (LTS) version of Kubernetes for a period of 2 years.
136+
137+
There is only ever a single minor version of Kubernetes deemed LTS at any one time.
138+
139+
| | Community Support |Long Term Support |
140+
|---|---|---|
141+
| **When to use** | When you are able to keep up with upstream Kubernetes releases | When you need control over when to migrate from on version to another |
142+
| **Support versions** | 3 GA minor versions | One Kubernetes version (currently 1.27) for 2 years |
143+
| **Pricing** | Included | Per hour cluster cost |
144+
145+
The upstream community will maintain a minor release of Kubernetes for a period of 1 year from release. Past this time, Microsoft will create and apply security updates to the LTS version of Kubernetes to provide a total of 2 years support on AKS.
