Is ingress-nginx compatible with Kubernetes 1.37?

Retired Kubernetes Ingress controller that used NGINX. The README still publishes the historical E2E-tested Kubernetes versions.

Retired project. Kubernetes SIG Network and the Security Response Committee announced on November 11, 2025 that best-effort maintenance would continue until March 2026, after which there would be no further releases, bug fixes, or security updates. The Kubernetes v1.36 sneak peek (March 30, 2026) states the project was retired on March 24, 2026. Existing installs keep running and the artifacts remain. The README still describes the retirement in the November announcement’s wording. The GitHub repository was archived as of 2026-11-15; its last push was 2026-03-23. Read the retirement guide.
Kubernetes 1.37, current tracked release 1.15:

v1.15.0 and v1.15.1. Helm chart 4.15.x. E2E tested on 1.35, 1.34, 1.33, 1.32, 1.31. The project is retired, so this is historical test coverage.

The README says supported versions mean E2E tests passed for the listed Kubernetes minors. ingress-nginx v1.15.0 and v1.15.1 list 1.35, 1.34, 1.33, 1.32, 1.31. v1.14.x lists 1.34 through 1.30. v1.13.x lists 1.33 through 1.29. v1.12.x lists 1.32 through 1.28. The project says versions may work on older Kubernetes releases and does not guarantee that.

Empty-looking “not in the published matrix” cells were not listed by the project. They are not a guess that the combination fails.

Notes

Helm chart versions in that table track the controller: v1.15.1 uses chart 4.15.1. This is the Kubernetes community ingress-nginx project, not the F5 NGINX Ingress Controller and not NGINX Gateway Fabric.

Managed Kubernetes end of support

Addon compatibility is not the same as the platform’s support window. End-of-support dates for the managed services are on EOL Radar: Amazon EKS (opens in a new tab), Azure AKS (opens in a new tab), Google Kubernetes Engine (opens in a new tab).
