- This is an ** opt-in change** ; you're required to manually migrate from the
24
29
Google-hosted repository to the Kubernetes community-owned repositories.

and instructions.
27
- - Access to the Google-hosted repository will remain intact for the foreseeable
28
- future. However, the Kubernetes project plans to stop publishing packages to
29
- the Google-hosted repository in the future. The project strongly recommends
30
- migrating to the Kubernetes package repositories going forward.

32
+ - The legacy Google-hosted repositories are ** deprecated as of August 31, 2023** ,
33
+ and will be ** frozen approximately as of September 13, 2023** . The freeze will happen
34
+ immediately following the patch releases that are scheduled for September, 2023.
35
+ Freezing the legacy repositories means that we will publish packages for the Kubernetes
36
+ project only to the community-owned repositories as of the September 13, 2023 cut-off point.

39
+ - The existing packages in the legacy repositories will be available for the foreseeable future.
40
+ However, the Kubernetes project can't provide any guarantees on how long is that going to be.
41
+ The deprecated legacy repositories, and their contents, might be removed at any time in the future
42
+ and without a further notice period.
43
+ - Given that no new releases will be published to the legacy repositories after
44
+ the September 13, 2023 cut-off point, you will not be able to upgrade to any patch or minor
45
+ release made from that date onwards if you don't migrate to the new Kubernetes package repositories.
46
+ That said, we recommend migrating to the new Kubernetes package repositories ** as soon as possible** .
47
+ - The new Kubernetes package repositories contain packages beginning with those
32
48
Kubernetes versions that were still under support when the community took
33

over the package builds. This means that anything before v1.24.0 will only be
34

available in the Google-hosted repository.
