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. Click Preview to review the changes, then Roll out for immediate rollout. Alternatively, save the revision and roll it out later.

Rolling Out Machine by Machine

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

1. Save your changes with Preview, then choose Propagate to downstream Revisions to create pending Machine Revisions without rolling out yet.
2. One by one, roll out the revision of each Machine (via Machines → Machine Name → Revisions Tab → Preview & roll out) and watch that the rollout doesn't cause disruptions.
