For new **minor** versions of Kubernetes:
173
-
* AKS publishes an announcement with the planned date of a new version release and respective old version deprecation on the [AKS Release notes](https://aka.ms/aks/releasenotes) at least 30 days prior to removal.
174
-
* AKS uses [Azure Advisor](../advisor/advisor-overview.md) to alert you if a new version could cause issues in your cluster because of deprecated APIs. Azure Advisor also alerts you if you're out of support.
175
-
* AKS publishes a [service health notification](../service-health/service-health-overview.md) available to all users with AKS and portal access and sends an email to the subscription administrators with the planned version removal dates.

For new **patch** versions of Kubernetes:
183
-
* Because of the urgent nature of patch versions, they can be introduced into the service as they become available. Once available, patches have a two month minimum lifecycle.
184
-
* In general, AKS doesn't broadly communicate the release of new patch versions. However, AKS constantly monitors and validates available CVE patches to support them in AKS in a timely manner. If a critical patch is found or user action is required, AKS will notify you to upgrade to the newly available patch.
185
-
* You have **30 days** from a patch release's removal from AKS to upgrade into a supported patch and continue receiving support. However, you'll **no longer be able to create clusters or node pools once the version is deprecated/removed.**
