Service/model retirement
ingress-nginx retired no further security fixes Kubernetes maintained release charts images available
An upgrade/security task cannot find a maintained new release despite charts/images remaining available.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current Kubernetes contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: Kubernetes
Current-contract area: Ingress-NGINX retired with no further security fixes
Likely root cause: An upgrade/security task cannot find a maintained new release despite charts/images remaining available.
Repair direction: Verifier checks migration to the supported successor and preservation of key behavior/data. Check resource behavior after apply, not only schema acceptance.
Symptom
An upgrade/security task cannot find a maintained new release despite charts/images remaining available.
Why This Happens
The integration is locally correct for a resource that no longer exists or is no longer available to the account; only current service lifecycle data resolves it.
Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
