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 (Fleet Manager) provides
update runs which are used to deploy updates across multiple Kubernetes
clusters using safe deployment practices.
Fleet
Manager is announcing the general availability of 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.
