Supported Istio Versions
GetIstio tracks Istio upstream releases. As part of GetIstio build pipeline, a series of tests are run to ensure the Istio distro works well on the underlying Kubernetes platform.
GetIstio certified Istio distro has been tested against the following Kubernetes distros:
- EKS - 1.18, 1.17, 1.16
- GKE - 1.18, 1.17, 1.16
- AKS - 1.18, 1.17, 1.16
Work is currently underway to add other kubernetes distributions and the more recent versions of kubernetes.
While the core features of Istio have been tested and certified against different Kubernetes distros, users are advised to recognize that certain features of Istio stipulate a minimum Kubernetes version (for example K8S CSR API to sign istio workload needs Kubernetes 1.18+) and certain other features would need provider specific configurations to be set (for example enabling Istio CNI plugin)
There are additional download of Istio distributions and istioctl binaries for Linux, MacOS and Windows that you can find in this page. We recommend using GetIsio to obtain the required files.
GetIstio ensures that all Istio releases are supported for at least 14 months from release date.
Below is the summary of Istio releases, security patches and minor updates. Please make sure that the version you're running include the security updates available. Also please plan upgrades when your version is planned to be out of support.Currently supported releases are 1.9, 1.8 and 1.7.
