Takes effect 2 November 2026. From 2 November the provider keys held by individual teams are revoked. Calls made directly to a provider will fail with a 401; calls through the gateway are unaffected. Switching over is a base URL change and a different key. The quickstart has the exact diff for each SDK we support.

Takes effect 1 October 2026. Production upgrades run in three waves starting 1 October. Any workload still declaring networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 Ingress objects will fail to deploy once its cluster is upgraded. Run kubectl deprecations --context <your-cluster> to see whether you are affected. The migration guide has the before-and-after manifests. What you need to do: (1) Run kubectl deprecations --context <your-cluster> against every cluster your team owns. (2) Move any v1beta1 Ingress objects to networking.k8s.io/v1, using the before-and-after manifests. (3) Tell us in #devops if you cannot make 1 October, before the waves start.
