v3.4.44Kubernetes Core
May 2, 2026

etcd v3.4.44 is a maintenance release on the 3.4 branch. Release notes are sparse — check the full CHANGELOG for the actual fix list before upgrading.

  • breakingReview CHANGELOG before upgrading — release notes are empty

    The published release notes contain no change summary. Before upgrading any production cluster, pull up CHANGELOG-3.4.md directly and diff against your current version. Skipping this step on a Kubernetes control plane means you could hit an undocumented behavioral change mid-upgrade.

  • enhancementStill on 3.4? Evaluate migration to 3.5

    3.4.x receives only critical fixes at this point. If you're running etcd as a Kubernetes backing store, now is a good time to plan a move to 3.5, which has a longer active support runway. Check Kubernetes version compatibility before scheduling the upgrade.
