Talos and k8s version mismatch preventing upgrades
I'm running talos 1.7.6 and kubernetes 1.32.0. I know talos 1.7.6 ships with kubernetes 1.30.3 and to be honest I have no idea how I got myself on 1.32.0. I'm almost certain I haven't run talosctl upgrade-k8s or anything similar although I accept there's good evidence to the contrary. More on github.com

How to update proxy settings for running cluster?
There's a caveat here - kube-proxy is a bootstrap manifest, it lives fully in Kubernetes. Talos by default doesn't update them, so you need to run talosctl upgrade-k8s to the same Kubernetes version to get things updated. More on github.com

r/kubernetes on Reddit: Upgrade cluster Talos
April 1, 2025 -

Hello everyone!
For those who have Talos clusters, how do you upgrade the installer?
I managed to upgrade from 1.7.6 to 1.7.7, but when upgrading from 1.7.7 to 1.8.0, the ETCD of the control planes no longer synchronizes correctly. I randomly lose access to the API across all my nodes.
