Kubernetes compatibility

This release is compatible with the following Kubernetes versions:

Kubernetes version	Minimum required
v1.31	>= 1.31.0
v1.32	>= 1.32.0
v1.33	>= 1.33.0

[!NOTE]
Note that the Flux project offers support only for the latest three minor versions of Kubernetes.
Backwards compatibility with older versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift is offered by vendors such as
ControlPlane that provide enterprise support for Flux.

OpenShift compatibility

Flux can be installed on Red Hat OpenShift cluster directly from OperatorHub using Flux Operator.
The operator allows the configuration of Flux multi-tenancy lockdown, network policies, persistent storage, sharding, vertical scaling and the synchronization of the cluster state from Git repositories, OCI artifacts, and S3-compatible storage.

Upgrade procedure

Upgrade Flux from v2.5.0 to v2.6.0 by following the upgrade guide.

To upgrade the APIs, make sure the new CRDs and controllers are deployed, and then change the manifests in Git:

1. Set apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 in the YAML files that contain OCIRepository definitions.
2. Add an annotation api.fluxcd.io/upgrade: "v2.6.0" to the OCIRepository resources. (this is not required if Flux Operator is used for upgrade)
3. Commit, push, and reconcile the API version changes.

Bumping the APIs version in manifests can be done gradually.
It is advised to not delay this procedure as the deprecated versions will be removed after 6 months.
