What's the proper spring cloud release working with current spring boot 2.0.0M3 - spring-boot

I would like to use spring boot 2.0.0M3(which includes Spring 5 RC3) for my new project. I'm wondering which release of spring cloud I should use to have compatible with spring 5.
I did not find any resource talking about it. Should I use latest Dalston SR2 or Finchley snapshot to having spring cloud capability?

I generated my new project via start.spring.io.
The Finchley.M1 of spring cloud works fine with spring boot 2.0.0.M3.

Spring Boot Parent and Spring Cloud starter gateway version issue

I am forced to use/mention Spring cloud gateway version because my organization uses nexus repo.
I am using spring boot parent version 2.5.12, could you please let me know which version of spring
cloud starter gateway should I use. I have tried 3.x.x version for gateway but no use.
You can refer to Spring Boot and Spring Cloud Compatibility Matrix in the below
Check for Release train Spring Boot compatibility in the below
https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud
See compatible version between Spring Cloud (Spring Cloud Gateway) with Spring Boot at here. https://spring.io/blog/2022/05/27/spring-cloud-2021-0-3-is-available-compatible-with-spring-boot-2-7-0
https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-release/wiki
Choose correct versions pair for you.
For example: Spring Cloud Gateway 3.1.3 (belong to Spring Cloud 2021.0.3 Release Train) works with Spring Boot 2.6.x and Spring Boot 2.7.x

spring cloud 2020.0.4 and spring-kafka:2.6.6 compatibility

I am using spring cloud 2020.0.2 and spring-kafka:2.6.6 with spring boot 2.5.8. This works fine.
But when I upgrade spring cloud to 2020.0.4 then spring kafka throws following error.
MessageHandling exception, Missing header kafka_acknowledgement.
Can anyone please help me if spring cloud 2020.0.2 and spring-kafka:2.6.6 is compatible?
Thank you
2020.0.x switched to Spring Boot 2.5 in 2020.0.3 (see https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud).
Boot 2.5.x uses Spring for Apache Kafka 2.7.x.

Does Spring Cloud Hoxton.SR3 compatible with Spring Boot 2.3.11?

I would like to know Spring Cloud Hoxton.SR3 is compatible with Spring Boot 2.3.11 ?
The Spring Cloud project page contains a version compatibility table. Spring Cloud Hoxton is compatible with Spring Boot 2.2.x and, as of SR5, Spring Boot 2.3.x. In short, Spring Cloud Hoxton.SR3 is not compatible with Spring Boot 2.3.11.

Spring Boot Confusion (using spring cloud dependency in spring boot framework)

I am new to spring framework. I have a confusion regarding spring boot and spring cloud.
I used https://start.spring.io/ to initialize a spring boot application. I think I am using the spring boot framework. However, I would like to use some spring cloud dependencies such as spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka.
Question 1: If I added this dependency above to my spring boot application, I am wondering if I still can go with the spring boot framework, or I have to change to spring cloud framework.
Question 2: I am wondering if there is any difference when deploying the spring boot or spring cloud application. Or, they just have the different frameworks, and we could deploy them in the same way.
Thank you so much!
You can use together Spring Boot and Spring Cloud packages.
Spring Boot is just a preconfigured Spring Framework with some extra functionalities. It also uses library versions compatibile with each other. Spring Cloud is also the part of the Spring ecosystem, contains libraries that mostly used in cloud applications.
In the background, these packages will pull all necessary Spring (and other) libraries into your project, as transitive dependencies.
So you can use the generated pom/gradle, and add other dependencies. In this case Spring boot will be your core and cloud add extras.

Are there plans for a spring cloud update that is compatible with spring boot 2.5?

I am using both spring cloud and spring boot in my project. We are adding a feature that will require the Spring Boot 2.5 release, however the latest supported Spring Boot version supported by the most recent Spring Cloud snapshot is 2.4.6-SNAPSHOT. Are there any plans to support spring boot version 2.5 in a new Spring Cloud update or snapshot? If so, when is that projected to be released?
