Upgrade Machine Pools

INFO

To learn about Machine Pool Revisions, rolling upgrades and the shared responsibility model, see Machine Pools.

Upgrade a Cluster to a Newer Minor Version

1. Navigate to the Machine Pool → Actions → Edit Machine Pool
2. Select the desired Kubernetes minor version.
3. Hit Save Machine Pool and apply the revision later, or use Save Machine Pool & Apply for immediate rollout.

Rolling Out Manually

If you want to be extra careful that the upgrade works gracefully, you can roll out the upgrade manually:

1. Save your changes with Save Machine Pool
2. In the Revisions tab, hit Apply on the desired revision
3. Select Yes, but apply manually when asked for the apply.

This will create new Machine Revisions on each Machine, but not apply them yet.

One by one, apply the revision of the selected machine (via Machines → Machine Name → Revisions Tab → Apply) and watch that the rollout doesn't cause disruptions.
