16 November 2022

• The Fedora 37 (fedora-37-x64) base image is now available in the control panel and via the API.

• You can now enable high availability on existing Kubernetes clusters. For detailed steps, see our guide.

• DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters originally created with version 1.20 or older have an outdated version of our control plane architecture, which does not allow you to enable high availability. However, you can now upgrade your control plane to our new version. This upgrade option is available for Kubernetes versions currently 1.22 and later.

  To check whether you can upgrade your cluster to the new control plane, see our guide.
