Istio images will no longer be available at gcr.io/istio-release starting January 1st, 2027, due to changes in Istio's funding model. A new registry, registry.istio.io, has been set up as the replacement. It is not yet production-ready but is expected to be by April 2026. Users are encouraged to update test and development clusters to pull from the new registry now. Instructions are provided for migrating using istioctl, Helm, and private mirror setups.
