🔹 Kubernetes - Changes to Kubernetes Slack

The Kubernetes Slack workspace was initially set to be downgraded to a standard free version on June 20, 2025, due to Slack’s decision to stop providing a free customized enterprise account.

Channel owners and members are advised to take necessary actions to prepare for the potential platform change and preserve information. Updates and further information will be shared through various communication channels, and feedback can be provided via a GitHub discussion. 👉 Read more
