You can update the Kubernetes version in cluster settings. You can only select a newer version; rolling back to one of the older version isn't possible.

> [!NOTE]
> Changing the version might cause performance issues in the cluster. We recommend doing this during a time when the project has the least activity.

You can either start the update immediately or schedule it for a specific time that works best for you.

## Immediate Update

Use this option if you want the update to start right away.

1.  Go to the **Kubernetes** section and click on the cluster.
    
2.  In the **Management** tab, click **Update version**.
