    This is a planning aid, not a guarantee. Always follow your provider's upgrade documentation for the versions you use. Read our PodDisruptionBudget explainer and the Kubernetes guide, or ask us to review your cluster.

    Questions

    Does this tool know the current Kubernetes versions?
    No, deliberately. Supported versions and dates change, so the planner works from the versions you enter. Check your provider documentation for what is currently supported.
    Why only one minor version at a time?
    Kubernetes upgrades the control plane one minor version at a time. If you are several versions behind, plan one round per minor version, testing each before the next.
    Can I roll back a Kubernetes upgrade?
    Control plane downgrades are generally not supported, so plan to roll forward. You can usually roll back workloads and node pools. This is why staging, backups and a tested plan matter.
    Does anything I enter leave my browser?
    No. The plan is generated entirely in your browser.
