I noticed that some versions of the Dapr extension for Azure Kubernetes Service have some strange suffixes, like -msft.3. Could you please clarify what they mean?

az k8s-extension extension-types list-versions-by-location --extension-type microsoft.dapr --location eastus | grep "version\":"
      "version": "1.13.4-msft.1"
      "version": "1.13.2-msft.3"

Hi @vlardn,

The Dapr images used by the AKS extension are hosted in Microsoft’s Container Registry (MCR). The appended -msft.n is a convention used to allow the extension to make patches quickly and urgently (e.g., small security fixes) if/where needed.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
