I would like to automate our deployments, but want our abstractions to take into account the changes between versions of Kubernetes, e.g. APIs being promoted which leads to other resource versions, different annotations etc. What is the best way to find out against which version of Kubernetes we are working? So far I looked in the Kubernetes

Provider

class but that doesn’t expose the info. Is there a standard way of getting this using the

pulumi-kubernetes

provider?

Do you mean the versions of kubernetes API or the versions of the group/resource (so

autoscaling/v1

)?

@brave-planet-10645 I guess the code in the k8s provider have various levels for certain resources like

v1alpha1

,

v1beta1

and

v1

to support setting these up on different versions of k8s. Now, it is usually based on the main k8s version (e.g. 1.16, 1.17, …) that one has to find out which versions of the resources and annotations one has to use. So I’m in need of the main k8s version.

GKE and EKS seem to have an output for the version (

masterVersion

and

platformVersion

respectively). Can you use that?

@brave-planet-10645 you mean this for GKE? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/gcp/container/getcluster/#masterversion_nodejs

It's an assumption but yes
