{% capture overview %}

kubeadm upgrade is a user-friendly command that wraps complex upgrading logic behind one command, with support for both planning an upgrade and actually performing it. kubeadm upgrade can also be used for downgrading cluster if necessary.

Every upgrade process might be a bit different, so we've documented each minor upgrade process individually. Please check these documents out for more detailed how-to-upgrade guidance:

• 1.6 to 1.7 upgrades
• 1.7.x to 1.7.y upgrades
• 1.7 to 1.8 upgrades
• 1.8.x to 1.8.y upgrades
