Cluster Overview

The Cluster Overview page provides a summary and management options for your Kubernetes cluster.

  • Upgrade Kubernetes Version: update to a newer release. Upgrades move one minor version at a time. A patch upgrade within the same minor version is also available.
  • Refresh: reload latest cluster data
  • Download Config: download the kubeconfig file for kubectl
  • Power Off: gracefully shut down the cluster
  • Delete: permanently delete the cluster and all resources

Cluster Overview action buttons: upgrade, refresh, download config, power off, and delete

  • Total CPU, Total RAM
  • Control Nodes / Worker Nodes
  • Network, Status

Cluster Overview summary: total CPU and RAM, control and worker nodes, network, and status

  • Project Name, Created At, IP Address, API Endpoint, Cloud, Username, Location
  • Kubernetes Version, Auto Scaling (min/max node count if enabled)
  • All-Time Consumption, Network, SSH Key

Cluster Information panel: project, endpoints, Kubernetes version, autoscaling, and consumption

  • Current Plan, CPU per node, Memory per node, Storage per node

Use Upgrade Kubernetes Version in the portal. Upgrade one minor version at a time, such as 1.34 to 1.35, then 1.35 to 1.36. You can also apply a patch upgrade within the same minor line.

Before each upgrade:

  1. Validate the target version in a test cluster that mirrors your live workload.

  2. Confirm you have tested backups and a restore plan. Do not assume an in-place rollback is available.

  3. Check operators, ingress controllers, storage add-ons, and workload dependencies for target-version compatibility. Review deprecated APIs and confirm PodDisruptionBudget headroom.

  4. Inspect the cluster with read-only commands:

    kubectl version
    kubectl get nodes
    kubectl get deployments --all-namespaces
    kubectl get statefulsets --all-namespaces
    kubectl get pdb --all-namespaces

Click Upgrade Kubernetes Version, select the next supported version, and monitor the cluster health after the upgrade completes. Repeat the preflight checks after every step in a multi-minor upgrade. Plan for workload disruption during maintenance.

See the Kubernetes documentation for version-skew guidance and PodDisruptionBudgets.
