About Rancher 2.11

Rancher 2.11 has transitioned into security-only maintenance since October 24, 2025. This means it still receives critical security patches, but no new features, performance improvements, or non-critical bug fixes will be backported. It remains a safe choice for production systems that cannot upgrade immediately, but you should begin planning your migration path. With 232 days until end of life, the window for a controlled, well-tested upgrade is narrowing.

When you are ready to upgrade, Rancher 2.13 is the recommended target. Test your application against 2.13 in a staging environment first, paying attention to any deprecated APIs you may be using.
