UID2-7589: update AKS guide Kubernetes version from 1.33 to 1.36 - #1050
Merged
Conversation
The AKS Private Operator integration guide showed --kubernetes-version 1.33 in its az aks create example. Azure gives each Kubernetes minor version 12 months of standard support after GA; 1.33 went GA in Jun 2025 and reached end of life in Jul 2026, so it is now Long-Term Support only. A partner following this guide verbatim would hit: ERROR: (K8sVersionNotSupported) ... is on version 1.33.13, which is only available for Long-Term Support (LTS). Bumped the example to 1.36, the latest GA release (GA Jun 2026, EOL Jun 2027), matching the version now used by the operator E2E setup script in uid2-shared-actions. Also expanded the accompanying note so readers do not depend on the example staying current: it now explains that minor versions leave standard support on a ~12-month cadence, names the K8sVersionNotSupported error so the failure is searchable, and gives the az aks get-versions command for finding the versions currently available in their region. Japanese translation intentionally left unchanged — handled by the translation pipeline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Updates the AKS Private Operator integration guide (
docs/guides/operator-guide-aks-enclave.md):--kubernetes-version 1.33→1.36in theaz aks createexample.Why
Azure gives each Kubernetes minor version 12 months of standard support after GA. 1.33 went GA in Jun 2025 and reached end of life in Jul 2026, so it has dropped to Long-Term Support only. A private operator following this guide verbatim now hits:
This surfaced as a nightly
Publish All Operatorsfailure inuid2-operator(the E2E AKS setup script carried the same stale pin — fixed in uid2-shared-actions #258). The same pin in this guide is the client-facing half of the problem, so partners standing up a new AKS private operator would fail at cluster creation.Why 1.36
Confirmed against a live subscription with
az aks get-versions --location westus3, not just the published calendar:AKSLongTermSupportonlyKubernetesOfficialwithdrawn — the cause of the errorKubernetesOfficial+ LTSKubernetesOfficial+ LTSKubernetesOfficial+ LTS1.37 is not offered in the region yet. 1.36 keeps this guide aligned with the version the operator E2E now uses.
Note change
The existing note already said "be sure to use the latest supported Kubernetes version", but the stale example directly contradicted it, and a reader had no way to act on the advice. It now also:
K8sVersionNotSupportedso anyone who hits the error can search for it and land here,az aks get-versions --location ${LOCATION}for finding what is currently available in their own region.Scope
English only — the Japanese translation is handled by the translation pipeline and has been deliberately left untouched.
No structural, navigation, or formatting changes; the diff is confined to two lines in one file.
