In this quick post, we are exploring upgrading a GKE cluster using the Google Cloud Console. My cluster is running on 1.22.15-gke.1000 prior to the upgrade process.

First we click on the “Upgrade Available” button and select the target version.
If the version you are upgrading to is more than 1 minor version away from the current version. You may have to do this step in stages.
For Example: From 1.21.10 to 1.22.15 first, then I will upgrade from 1.23.15 to my most recent version (1.16.9).
