3.8.5

Important

If you previously disabled Ingress Controller to mitigate vulnerabilities, Mirantis recommends that following upgrade to MKE 3.8.5 you re-enable the component. For detailed information on how to do this, refer to Configure NGINX Ingress Controller.

Release date	Name	Highlights
2025-APR-22	MKE 3.8.5	The MKE 3.8.5 patch release introduces the following product enhancements: Addition of CoreDNS ConfigMap persist configuration setting. Ability to disable/re-enable client bundle generation and use. Updated Kubernetes to version 1.31.7.

Important

Upgrading to MKE 3.8.5 from MKE 3.7.x can cause your containers to restart, due to the hash calculation rule that was introduced in Kubernetes 1.31. As such, Mirantis recommends that you use the phased in-place cluster upgrade method or the blue-green deployment upgrade method to avoid the simultaneous containers restarts that the automated in-place cluster upgrade method can cause to occur in all nodes.
