# Consul on Kubernetes Version Compatibility
|
|
|
|
For every release of Consul on Kubernetes, a Helm chart, `consul-k8s-control-plane` binary and a `consul-k8s` CLI binary is built and distributed through a single version. When deploying via Helm, the recommended best path for upgrading Consul on Kubernetes, is to upgrade using the same `consul-k8s-control-plane` version as the Helm Chart, as the Helm Chart and Control Plane binary are tightly coupled.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Consul and Kubernetes versions
|
|
|
|
Consul Kubernetes versions all of its components (`consul-k8s` CLI, `consul-k8s-control-plane`, and Helm chart) with a single semantic version. When installing or upgrading to a specific versions, ensure that you are using the correct Consul version with the compatible `consul-k8s` helm chart and/or CLI.
|
|
|
|
| Consul Version | Compatible consul-k8s Versions | Compatible Kubernetes Versions |
|
|
| -------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------|
|
|
| 1.14.x | 1.0.x | 1.22.x - 1.25.x |
|
|
| 1.13.x | 0.49.x | 1.21.x - 1.24.x |
|
|
| 1.12.x | 0.43.0 - 0.49.x | 1.19.x - 1.22.x |
|
|
|
|
## Supported Envoy versions
|
|
|
|
Supported versions of Envoy and `consul-dataplane` (for Consul K8s 1.0 and above) for Consul versions are also found in [Envoy - Supported Versions](/consul/docs/connect/proxies/envoy#supported-versions). Starting with `consul-k8s` 1.0, `consul-dataplane` will include a bundled version of Envoy. The recommended best practice is to use the default version of Envoy or `consul-dataplane` that is provided in the Helm `values.yaml` file, as that is the version that has been tested with the default Consul and Consul Kubernetes binaries for a given Helm chart.
|
|
|
|
## Vault as a Secrets Backend compatibility
|
|
|
|
Starting with Consul K8s 0.39.0 and Consul 1.11.x, Consul Kubernetes supports the ability to utilize Vault as the secrets backend for all the secrets utilized by Consul on Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
| `consul-k8s` Versions | Compatible Vault Versions | Compatible `vault-k8s` Versions |
|
|
| ------------------------ | --------------------------| ----------------------------- |
|
|
| 0.39.0 - latest | 1.9.0 - latest | 0.14.0 - latest |
|
