Windows Server 2025 now GA on AKS

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 14:51:34 +0000

Platform/SRE — Plan: Windows Server 2025 is now a supported node OS on AKS, giving teams a clear upgrade target as older Windows Server versions approach end of support. Schedule evaluation of Windows node pool migration this quarter, especially if running 2019 or 2022 nodes — no forced-upgrade date is signaled yet, but the deprecation mention warrants adding it to the roadmap.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: AKS now supports Windows Server 2025, extending the viability of Windows-based workloads on managed Kubernetes — useful context if the org is evaluating its Windows modernization strategy, but no strategic or cost decision is required now.
Signals: deprecation mentioned (no explicit date found) · GA announcement
