## Compatibility Details By Version

More details around container distributions and management platforms that are supported by Trilio for Kubernetes. Ecosystem product compatibility information is also provided as part of this section.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the table below lists the various distributions that are fully supported by Trilio. Other distributions may successfully work for the user, but only those listed are formally supported.
{% endhint %}

Trilio for Kubernetes has been developed as a Kubernetes-centric application, therefore Trilio will function on any Kubernetes distribution as long as it is CNCF conformant.

Trilio will continually update the Compatibility Matrix list of Kubernetes distributions as and when they are formally tested, validated, and added to its standard CI/CD pipelines.

### TrilioVaultManager and Trilio for Kubernetes Application Compatibility

TrilioVaultManager is always installed with the same version of the Trilio Application.

If you want to install Trilio for Kubernetes manually using a YAML manifest, it is recommended to keep all Trilio Application containers the same version.
