Upgrade Calico Cloud

How you upgrade a managed cluster depends on how you connected it to Calico Cloud. If you connected the cluster from the web console, upgrade it from the web console. If you connected it as part of an automated workflow, upgrade it with Helm.

Upgrade a cluster from the web console

To upgrade a managed cluster to the latest version of Calico Cloud:

1. From the web console, go to the Managed Clusters page.
2. If your organization uses multiple projects to group managed clusters, click the Project menu and select the project you want your cluster to be part of.
3. For the cluster you want to upgrade, select Actions > Reinstall.
4. In the Reinstall Cluster dialog, select a newer version of Calico Cloud from the list, click Reinstall, and copy the generated command. The dialog generates either a kubectl or a Helm command, to match the way the cluster was connected to Calico Cloud.
5. From a terminal, paste and run the command. The cluster's status under Connection Status changes to Disconnected: Installing. When the upgrade is complete, the status changes to Connected.

Upgrade a cluster as part of an automated workflow

If you connected the cluster using client credentials and your own values.yaml file, upgrade it by running helm upgrade with a newer version, rather than from the web console. For the procedure, see Upgrade Calico Cloud as part of an automated workflow.
