There is a documentation page for details on compatibility with kubernetes versions, however it appears not quite up-to-date with linkerd and edge versions.

> **[Supported Kubernetes Versions](https://linkerd.io/2-edge/reference/k8s-versions/)**
>
> Reference documentation for which Linkerd version supports which Kubernetes version

How can I determine which edge release has what minimum/maximum kubernetes version compatibility?

Thanks

Check out the most recent version of that page at [Supported Kubernetes Versions | Linkerd](https://linkerd.io/2.17/reference/k8s-versions/) – I’ll update the copy on `2-edge`, sorry for the confusion!

Thank you @Flynn  
Does maximum k8s version refer to linkerd release being tested on it at the time of release, or is it known to be incompatible with versions above that due to deprecation/change?

It’s the maximum release we’ve tested on. We have many reports of Linkerd happily continuing to work on Kubernetes after the max we’ve tested, but of course since we haven’t tested it, we can’t be certain that that will always be the case.

Many thanks for the prompt reply.
