Updating Kubernetes Version

Updated on 14 April 2026

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.

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.

  2. Leave the Immediately option selected.

  3. Click Change.
