Public Preview: Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager – auto-upgrade target Kubernetes version channel
Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager has a new auto-upgrade channel that allows you to set a target Kubernetes minor version. Using this channel means clusters on the target Kubernetes minor continue to receive only patch updates until the minor reaches the end of support.
This new auto-upgrade channel is equivalent to the AKS cluster patch channel and can be used with AKS long term support (LTS) clusters.
