Reminder it's time to get off 1.16 now. Only 3 versions (current-2) are supported upstream.

Tell that to Google. Their "regular" (recommended) release channel in their managed Kubernetes Engine product regularly falls off the back of the supported range, while their "rapid" channel barely stays within it.

I was preparing to say "Tell that to GCP!" :) In their defense it's one of the services that you fire and forget. It seems to just work.

well, gcloud gke regular is still on 1.16.

And GKE stable is on 1.15.

Although you can't launch new clusters on it anymore, Google hasn't even forced clusters on 1.14 to update to a newer version yet.
