Supported Versions¶
Python¶
All Dask projects generally follow the NEP 29 deprecation policy for Python where each Python minor version is support ed for 42 months. Due to Python’s 12 month release cycle this ensures at least the current version and two previous versions are supported.
The Dask Kubernetes CI tests all PRs against all supported Python versions.
Kubernetes¶
For Kubernetes we follow the yearly support KEP. Due to the 4-6 month release cycle this also ensures that at least the current and two previous versions are supported.
The Dask Kubernetes CI tests all PRs against all supported Kubernetes versions.
Note
To keep the CI matrix smaller we test all Kubernetes versions against the latest Python, and all Python versions against the latest Kubernetes. We do not test older versions of Python and Kubernetes together. See dask/dask-kubernetes#559 for more information.
