This section provides general information on managing Kubernetes clusters.
Kubernetes Upgrades
To keep your Kubernetes cluster up-to-date, it is recommended to keep in sync with the latest patch version available for the currently deployed major release. This keeps the cluster and worker nodes up-to-date with the latest security and vulnerability fixes.
Please follow the best practices for your Cloud Provider:
Worker Node Best Practices
It is recommended to recycle the worker nodes attached to your Kubernetes cluster or set up a lifecycle policy so the nodes are active no longer than a week to avoid caching excess docker images or volumes and to ensure the nodes are up-to-date based on the current configuration. In AWS this can be an Instance Refresh on the workers' Auto Scaling Group or Node Group.
