# Kubernetes platforms supported

View the Kubernetes platforms that are supported with Cortex XDR agents.

This table shows the Kubernetes platform versions that have been compatibility tested. The table shows the latest version that has been tested. All versions that are not EOL, up to the latest version tested for compatibility are supported.

For installation instructions refer to Cortex XDR Agent for Linux → Install the Cortex XDR Agent for Kubernetes Hosts in the latest [Cortex XDR agent admin guide](https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-agent-docs/).

### Notes

* In Google Container-Optimized OS release 100 and earlier, where the FANOTIFY EXEC flag is not supported, the Kernel configuration may be partial for the user mode agent to properly function. In such cases, the agent will fallback to asynchronous mode.
* In RHCOS version 4.12 and earlier, the Kernel configuration may be partial for the user mode agent to properly function. In such cases, the agent will fallback to asynchronous mode.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/compatibility-matrix/where-can-i-install-the-cortex-xdr-agent/kubernetes-platforms-supported.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
