Upgrade a Native or Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service Cluster

You can upgrade native and Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service clusters by using the Kubernetes Container Clusters plug-in.

For native clusters, if the CSE server contains Kubernetes templates with later Kubernetes versions, you can upgrade a native cluster in VMware Cloud Director by using the Kubernetes Container Clusters plug-in. For more information on Kubernetes template management, see the Container Service Extension (CSE) documentation.

For Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service clusters, if the parent supervisor cluster supports a later Kubernetes version, you can upgrade a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service cluster in VMware Cloud Director by using the Kubernetes Container Clusters plug-in.

Procedure

1. From the top navigation bar, select More > Kubernetes Container Clusters.
2. Click the radio button next to a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service cluster you want to upgrade.
   The upgrade column refreshes with information about the availability of an upgrade for the cluster. You can upgrade clusters with status Available.
3. Select the Kubernetes version to which you want to upgrade the cluster.
4. Click Upgrade.
