Hey everyone! We're currently running several self-hosted Kubernetes clusters in production on version 1.30. With the end of life date approaching, we want to upgrade to version 1.32. However, I noticed that Calico's compatibility matrix states that 1.32 isn't officially tested. They've tested Calico 3.29 against Kubernetes versions 1.29, 1.30, and 1.31, but not 1.32. I'm curious if anyone has had experiences using Calico 3.28 or 3.29 with Kubernetes 1.32. We really can't leave this to chance!

We've been using the latest Calico CNI with Kubernetes 1.32 as well, and everything's running fine so far! No problems to report.
As a Calico developer, I can tell you that it usually works well with newer Kubernetes releases. However, be mindful that sometimes Kubernetes deprecates and removes API features, which can affect compatibility. Most recent upgrades have been smooth, but do watch for subtle changes that occasionally happen.
I run Calico with Kubernetes 1.32 and I've had no issues at all. The latest versions work smoothly together, so I wouldn't worry too much about it!
Thanks for the reassurance!
I appreciate the detailed info, thanks a lot!
