+* EKS Anywhere release `v0.19.0` introduces support for creating Kubernetes version v1.29 clusters. A conformance test was [promoted](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120069) in Kubernetes v1.29 that verifies that `Service`s serving different L4 protocols with the same port number can co-exist in a Kubernetes cluster. This is not supported in Cilium, the CNI deployed on EKS Anywhere clusters, because Cilium currently does not differentiate between TCP and UDP protocols for Kubernetes `Service`s. Hence EKS Anywhere v1.29 clusters will not pass this specific conformance test. This service protocol differentiation is being tracked in an upstream [issue](https://github.com/cilium/cilium/issues/9207) and will be supported in a future Cilium release. A future release of EKS Anywhere will include the patched Cilium version when it is available.
+* The Bottlerocket project [will not be releasing](https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/issues/3794) bare metal variants for Kubernetes versions v1.29 and beyond. Hence Bottlerocket is not a supported operating system for creating EKS Anywhere bare metal clusters with Kubernetes versions v1.29 and above. However, Bottlerocket is still supported for bare metal clusters running Kubernetes versions v1.28 and below. Please refer to [this](https://github.com/aws/eks-anywhere/issues/7754) pinned issue for more information regarding the deprecation.
 * On January 31, 2024, a **High**-severity vulnerability CVE-2024-21626 was published affecting all `runc` versions <= `v1.1.11`. This CVE has been fixed in runc version `v1.1.12`, which has been included in EKS Anywhere release `v0.18.6`. In order to fix this CVE in your new/existing EKS-A cluster, you **MUST** build or download new OS images pertaining to version `v0.18.6` and create/upgrade your cluster with these images.<br>
   Refer to the following links for more information on the steps to mitigate the CVE.
