Jonathan Baier

Jonathan Baier is an emerging technology leader living in Brooklyn, New York. He has had a passion for technology since an early age. When he was 14 years old, he was so interested in the family computer (an IBM PCjr) that he pored over the several hundred pages of BASIC and DOS manuals. Then, he taught himself to code a very poorly-written version of Tic-Tac-Toe. During his teenage years, he started a computer support business. Throughout his life, he has dabbled in entrepreneurship. He currently works as Senior Vice President of Cloud Engineering and Operations for Moody's corporation in New York.

Upgrading the cluster


In order to run your cluster over long periods of time, you'll need to update your cluster as needed. There are several ways to manage cluster upgrades, and the difficulty level of the upgrades is determined by the platform you've chosen previously. As a general rule, hosted Platform as a service (PaaS) options are simpler, while roll your own options rely on you to manage your cluster upgrades.

Upgrading PaaS clusters

Upgrading PaaS clusters is a lot simpler than updating your hand-rolled clusters. Let's check out how the major cloud service providers update their hosted Kubernetes platforms.

With Azure, it's relatively straightforward to manage an upgrade of both the control plane and nodes of your cluster. You can check which upgrades are available for your cluster with the following command:

az aks get-upgrades --name “myAKSCluster” --resource-group myResourceGroup --output table
Name ResourceGroup MasterVersion NodePoolVersion Upgrades
