As this chart suggests (source), major cloud providers are now distinctly faster when it comes to making the latest Kubernetes releases available for their users.

We are definitely leaving behind the times when it took 100+ days to be able to run the newest Kubernetes in the preferred managed service. Now, it takes just about a month to get it for early adopters using AKS and GKE. EKS is close to making it generally available in a month.

Azure released AKS desktop based on Headlamp

Yesterday, the AKS desktop application was announced. It provides a self-service UI based on Headlamp (a Kubernetes SIG UI project) for deploying and managing workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service.

- Create and use AKS cluster projects;
- Visualise the Kubernetes resources in your project;
- Deploy applications and configure their scaling via HPA or manual settings;
- View metrics and logs.
