**Subject:** ⚠️ Action Required: Please Prepare for Kubernetes cgroup v2 Migration (Starts August 13)

Dear SnappCloud users,

We hope you're doing well.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve **platform stability** and enable **new Kubernetes features**, we are planning to upgrade our Kubernetes clusters from **cgroup v1** to **cgroup v2**. This change is aligned with the Kubernetes community roadmap, as **cgroup v1 is now in maintenance mode**.

---

### 🛠 What’s Happening?

We'll officially begin migrating to **cgroup v2 on August 13, 2025**, and the rollout will happen **gradually** across all clusters.

To help you test and verify your workloads ahead of time, we’re making a **limited set of nodes** available with cgroup v2 starting **August 7, 2025**. These nodes will be labeled with:  
🔖 `snappcloud.io/cgroup-v2: ''`

---

### 🙏 Action Requested: Please Validate Your Workloads

While most workloads will continue to work as expected, **applications that interact with system-level resources** may need some adjustments.

We’d greatly appreciate it if you could review the official Kubernetes guide on this topic:  
🔗 [Migrating to cgroup v2](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/cgroups/#migrating-cgroupv2)

Some important compatibility notes to consider:

- **Java applications:**  
  Please ensure your workloads use Java runtimes that fully support cgroup v2:
  - **OpenJDK / HotSpot:** `jdk8u372`, `11.0.16`, `15` and newer

- **Go applications using `uber-go/automaxprocs`:**  
  Use **v1.5.1 or later** to ensure proper CPU quota detection with cgroup v2.

To assist further, we've prepared a list of pods running incompatible Java versions across both regions. Please note that the list is not a definitive source.
We strongly recommend that you review and test your workloads directly to ensure full compatibility with CGroup v2.

### 📅 Key Dates

- **August 7, 2025:**  
  cgroup v2 nodes become available for early testing  
- **August 13, 2025:**  
  Full migration to cgroup v2 begins  

We kindly ask that **all workloads be validated for cgroup v2 compatibility by August 13**.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the **cloud team** or contact **Ahmad Karimi** directly. We're here to help and happy to support you through this transition.

Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding 🌟
