Platform
administrators managing large number of Kubernetes clusters face the challenge
of updating Kubernetes or node images in a way that is safe and predictable. To
address this challenge, Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager (Kubernetes Fleet) provides
update runs which are used to deploy updates across multiple Kubernetes
clusters.
Kubernetes Fleet is announcing
auto-upgrade support, which provides an automated trigger for update runs based
on new Kubernetes or node image versions being published to Azure. Admins can
create multiple auto-upgrade profiles for their fleet to capture combinations
of Kubernetes and node image version updates. Additionally, existing update run
strategies can be used to determine the order in which clusters are updated,
while guaranteeing cluster upgrades occur within the maintenance windows
configured at each cluster.
