+# Kubernetes 1.24
+
+**Authors**: [Kubernetes 1.24 Release Team](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/blob/master/releases/release-1.24/release-team.md): Mickey Boxell (Oracle), Kat Cosgrove (Pulumi), Debabrata Panigrahi, Parthvi Vala (Red Hat)
+
+We are excited to announce the release of Kubernetes 1.24, the first release of 2022!
+
+This release consists of 46 enhancements: 15 enhancements have graduated to stable, 15 enhancements are moving to beta, and 13 enhancements are entering alpha. Also, 2 features have been deprecated, and the [dockershim has been removed](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/02/17/dockershim-faq/).     
+
+
+## Major Themes
+
+### Dockershim Removed from kubelet
+After an initial deprecation in v1.20, the dockershim has been removed from the kubelet. From v1.24 and up, if you are currently relying on Docker Engine as your container runtime, you will need to either use one of the other supported runtimes (such as containerd or CRI-O) or use cri-dockerd. For more information about ensuring your cluster is ready for this removal, please see [this guide](/blog/2022/03/31/ready-for-dockershim-removal/). 
+
+### gRPC Probes Graduates to Beta
+With Kubernetes 1.24, the gRPC probes functionality has entered beta and is available by default.
+
+You can now configure startup, liveness, and readiness probes for your gRPC app without exposing an HTTP endpoint or using an extra executable, natively within Kubernetes.
+
+### Kubelet Credential Provider graduates to Beta
+Released as Alpha in Kubernetes v1.20, the Kubelet Credential Provider has now graduated to Beta. This allows the kubelet to dynamically retrieve credentials for a container image registry using exec plugins, communicating through stdio using Kubernetes versioned APIs, rather than storing them statically on disk.
+
+### Contextual Logging in Alpha
+Kubernetes v1.24 has introduced Contextual logging that enables the caller of a function to control all aspects of logging (output formatting, verbosity, additional values and names).
+
+### Avoiding collisions in IP allocation to Services
+A Service `ClusterIP` can be assigned:
+
+* dynamically, the cluster will automatically pick a free one within the configured Service IP range.
+* statically, the user will set one IP within the configured Service IP range.
+
+Service `ClusterIP` are unique, hence, trying to create a Service with a `ClusterIP` that has already been allocated will return an error.
+
+Kubernetes 1.24 introduces a new Feature Gate `ServiceIPStaticSubrange` that allows to use a different IP allocation strategy for Services, reducing the risk of collision.
+
+
+## Other Updates
+### Graduated to Stable
+* To do: Add all enhancements that graduated to stable

+
+### Availability
+
+Kubernetes 1.24 is available for download on [GitHub](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.24.0). To get started with Kubernetes, check out these [interactive tutorials](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/) or run local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container “nodes” with [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/). You can also easily install 1.24 using [kubeadm](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/). 
+
+### Release Team
+
+This release was made possible by a very dedicated group of individuals, who came together as a team to deliver technical content, documentation, code, and a host of other components that go into every Kubernetes release.
+
+A huge thank you to the release lead James Laverack for leading us through a successful release cycle, and to everyone else on the release team for supporting each other, and working so hard to deliver the 1.24 release for the community.

+
+### User Highlights
+* As the Netherlands emerged from the first pandemic lockdown in Spring 2021, people needed a way of proving their COVID-19 test result status to enter events. Using Kubernetes, the Dutch organization [Stichting Open Nederland](http://www.stichtingopennederland.nl/) created a testing portal in just one-and-a-half months to help safely reopen events in the Netherlands. The [Testing for Entry (Testen voor Toegang)](https://www.testenvoortoegang.org/) platform leverged the performance and scalability of Kubernetes to help individuals book COVID-19 test appointments, enabling them to once again attend cultural, social, and sports events. 
+* 
+
+### Ecosystem Updates
+
+* KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 will take place in Valencia, Spain, from 16 – 20 May 2022! You can find more information about the conference and registration on the [event site](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/archive/2021/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/).
+* In the [2021 Cloud Native Survey](https://www.cncf.io/announcements/2022/02/10/cncf-sees-record-kubernetes-and-container-adoption-in-2021-cloud-native-survey/), the CNCF saw record Kubernetes and container adoption. Take a look at the [results of the survey](https://www.cncf.io/reports/cncf-annual-survey-2021/). 
+* The [Linux Foundation](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/) and [The Cloud Native Computing Foundation](https://www.cncf.io/) (CNCF) announced the availability of a new [Cloud Native Developer Bootcamp](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/cloudnativedev-bootcamp/?utm_source=lftraining&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=clouddevbc0322) to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to design, build, and deploy cloud native applications. Check out [the announcement](https://www.cncf.io/announcements/2022/03/15/new-cloud-native-developer-bootcamp-provides-a-clear-path-to-cloud-native-careers/) to learn more. 
+
+### Project Velocity
+
+The [CNCF K8s DevStats](https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/12/dashboards?orgId=1&refresh=15m) project aggregates a number of interesting data points related to the velocity of Kubernetes and various sub-projects. This includes everything from individual contributions to the number of companies that are contributing, and is an illustration of the depth and breadth of effort that goes into evolving this ecosystem.
+
+In the v1.24 release cycle, which [ran for 18 weeks](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/tree/master/releases/release-1.24) (January 10 to May 17), we saw contributions from [1029 companies](https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/9/companies-table?orgId=1&var-period_name=v1.23.0%20-%20now&var-metric=contributions) and [1179 individuals](https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/66/developer-activity-counts-by-companies?orgId=1&var-period_name=v1.23.0%20-%20now&var-metric=contributions&var-repogroup_name=Kubernetes&var-country_name=All&var-companies=All&var-repo_name=kubernetes%2Fkubernetes).
