[Question] Is Strimzi compatible with k8s v1.16?

I have Strimzi v0.17.0 currently installed and am investigating upgrading our EKS dev cluster to kubernetes v1.16 (in EKS)

The Upgrde pre-requisites suggest that we update certain resource API versions, in particular, NetworkPolicies:

NetworkPolicy resources will no longer be served from extensions/v1beta1 in v1.16. Migrate use to the networking.k8s.io/v1 API, available since v1.8. Existing persisted data can be retrieved through the networking.k8s.io/v1 API.

A query of NetworkPolicy resources in our cluster shows:

bash-5.0# kubectl get NetworkPolicy/tombola-kafka-cluster-network-policy-kafka  -n kafka -o yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-06-16T14:55:20Z"
  generation: 1
  labels:
    app: tombola-kafka-cluster
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: tombola-kafka-cluster
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: strimzi-cluster-operator
    app.kubernetes.io/name: strimzi
    application: tombola-kafka-cluster
    chart: tombola-kafka-cluster-0.0.16
...

If I upgrade our cluster, I’m expecting this to break. Does strimzi support the networking.k8s.io/v1 api? Can you give me any advice on how to proceed here? (I’m tempted to try the upgrade but I have no roll-back option)

This is normal. The operator does a reconciliation every 2 minutes to make sure everything is still working even when you don’t change anything. That was for sure the same even before your EKS upgrade.

It looks like I’m chasing shadows then! Thanks for your help, and I’m going to close this issue.
