What this mirror does — and what it doesn’t.
We want you to download Kubernetes from somewhere boring and predictable. The mirror is a thin index over https://dl.k8s.io; every binary you click here comes from the same place the official kubernetes.io downloads page sends you.
- Link directly to dl.k8s.io for every binary
- Surface sha256, signature, and certificate per row
- Track the upstream release lifecycle and EOL dates
- Stay static, scrapable, and crawlable
- Proxy, re-host, or modify any Kubernetes binary
- Scrape live data — versions live in a static file
- Run third-party analytics or ad code
- Use the Kubernetes name or logo in a way that implies affiliation
Release index last updated . Subsequent patch releases are published on dl.k8s.io as they ship upstream.
