* HPA Algorithm Information Improvements (#9780)

* Update HPA docs with more algorithm details

The HPA docs pointed to an out-of-date document for information on the
algorithm details, which users were finding confusing.  This sticks a
section on the algorithm in the HPA docs instead, documenting both
general behavior and corner cases.

* Add glossary info, HPA docs on quantities

People often ask about the quantity notation when working with the
metrics APIs, so this adds a glossary entry on quantities (since they're
used elsewhere in the system), and a short explantation in the HPA walkthough.

* Information about HPA readiness and stabilization

This adds information about the new changes to HPA readiness and
stabilization from kubernetes/features#591, and other minor changes that
landed in Kubernetes 1.12.

default have manifests, another would be all the tests in the
conformance test suite. Here we capture the best practices for everyone
to start using manifests in their own workflows.

title: Upgrading kubeadm clusters from v1.11 to v1.12
content_template: templates/task
---
{{% capture overview %}}
This page explains how to upgrade a Kubernetes cluster created with `kubeadm` from version 1.11.x to version 1.12.x, and from version 1.12.x to 1.12.y, where `y > x`.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture prerequisites %}}
- You need to have a `kubeadm` Kubernetes cluster running version 1.11.0 or later.
[Swap must be disabled][swap].
The cluster should use a static control plane and etcd pods.
- Make sure you read the [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.12.md) carefully.
- Make sure to back up any important components, such as app-level state stored in a database.
`kubeadm upgrade` does not touch your workloads, only components internal to Kubernetes, but backups are always a best practice.
[swap]: https://serverfault.com/questions/684771/best-way-to-disable-swap-in-linux
### Additional information
- All containers are restarted after upgrade, because the container spec hash value is changed.
- You can upgrade only from one minor version to the next minor version.
That is, you cannot skip versions when you upgrade.
For example, you can upgrade only from 1.10 to 1.11, not from 1.9 to 1.11.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture steps %}}
## Upgrade the control plane
1. On your master node, upgrade kubeadm:
{{< tabs name="k8s_install" >}}
{{% tab name="Ubuntu, Debian or HypriotOS" %}}
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y kubelet kubeadm
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="CentOS, RHEL or Fedora" %}}
yum upgrade -y kubeadm --disableexcludes=kubernetes
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}
1. Verify that the download works and has the expected version:
```shell
kubeadm version
```
1. On the master node, run:
```shell
kubeadm upgrade plan
```
You should see output similar to this:
```shell
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks.
[upgrade] Making sure the cluster is healthy:
[upgrade/config] Making sure the configuration is correct:
[upgrade/config] Reading configuration from the cluster...
[upgrade/config] FYI: You can look at this config file with 'kubectl -n kube-system get cm kubeadm-config -oyaml'
[upgrade] Fetching available versions to upgrade to
[upgrade/versions] Cluster version: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] kubeadm version: v1.12.0
[upgrade/versions] Latest stable version: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] Latest version in the v1.11 series: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] Latest experimental version: v1.13.0-alpha.0
Components that must be upgraded manually after you have upgraded the control plane with 'kubeadm upgrade apply':
COMPONENT CURRENT AVAILABLE
Kubelet 2 x v1.11.1 v1.12.0
1 x v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Upgrade to the latest experimental version:
COMPONENT CURRENT AVAILABLE
API Server v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Controller Manager v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Scheduler v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Kube Proxy v1.11.3 v1.12.0
CoreDNS 1.1.3 1.2.2
Etcd 3.2.18 3.2.24
You can now apply the upgrade by executing the following command:
kubeadm upgrade apply v1.12.0
_____________________________________________________________________
```
This command checks that your cluster can be upgraded, and fetches the versions you can upgrade to.
1. Choose a version to upgrade to, and run the appropriate command. For example:
```shell
kubeadm upgrade apply v1.12.0
```
You should see output similar to this:
<!-- TODO: output from stable -->
```shell

[upgrade/successful] SUCCESS! Your cluster was upgraded to "v1.12.0". Enjoy!
[upgrade/kubelet] Now that your control plane is upgraded, please proceed with upgrading your kubelets if you haven't already done so.
```
1. Manually upgrade your Software Defined Network (SDN).
Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider may have its own upgrade instructions to follow.
Check the [addons](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/) page to
find your CNI provider and see whether additional upgrade steps are required.
## Upgrade master and node packages
1. Prepare each node for maintenance, marking it unschedulable and evicting the workloads:
```shell
kubectl drain $NODE --ignore-daemonsets
```
On the master node, you must add `--ignore-daemonsets`:
```shell
kubectl drain ip-172-31-85-18
node "ip-172-31-85-18" cordoned
error: unable to drain node "ip-172-31-85-18", aborting command...
There are pending nodes to be drained:
ip-172-31-85-18
error: DaemonSet-managed pods (use --ignore-daemonsets to ignore): calico-node-5798d, kube-proxy-thjp9
```
```
kubectl drain ip-172-31-85-18 --ignore-daemonsets
node "ip-172-31-85-18" already cordoned
WARNING: Ignoring DaemonSet-managed pods: calico-node-5798d, kube-proxy-thjp9
node "ip-172-31-85-18" drained
```
1. Upgrade the Kubernetes package version on each `$NODE` node by running the Linux package manager for your distribution:
{{< tabs name="k8s_install" >}}
{{% tab name="Ubuntu, Debian or HypriotOS" %}}
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y kubelet kubeadm
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="CentOS, RHEL or Fedora" %}}
yum upgrade -y kubelet kubeadm --disableexcludes=kubernetes
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}
## Upgrade kubelet on each node
1. On each node except the master node, upgrade the kubelet config:
```shell
sudo kubeadm upgrade node config --kubelet-version $(kubelet --version | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
```
1. Restart the kubelet process:
```shell
sudo systemctl restart kubelet
```
1. Verify that the new version of the `kubelet` is running on the node:
```shell
systemctl status kubelet
```
1. Bring the node back online by marking it schedulable:
```shell
kubectl uncordon $NODE
```
1. After the kubelet is upgraded on all nodes, verify that all nodes are available again by running the following command from anywhere kubectl can access the cluster:
```shell
kubectl get nodes
```
The `STATUS` column should show `Ready` for all your nodes, and the version number should be updated.
{{% /capture %}}
## Recovering from a failure state
If `kubeadm upgrade` fails and does not roll back, for example because of an unexpected shutdown during execution, you can run `kubeadm upgrade` again.
This command is idempotent and eventually makes sure that the actual state is the desired state you declare.
To recover from a bad state, you can also run `kubeadm upgrade --force` without changing the version that your cluster is running.
## How it works
`kubeadm upgrade apply` does the following:
- Checks that your cluster is in an upgradeable state:
- The API server is reachable
- All nodes are in the `Ready` state
- The control plane is healthy
- Enforces the version skew policies.
- Makes sure the control plane images are available or available to pull to the machine.
- Upgrades the control plane components or rollbacks if any of them fails to come up.
- Applies the new `kube-dns` and `kube-proxy` manifests and enforces that all necessary RBAC rules are created.
- Creates new certificate and key files of the API server and backs up old files if they're about to expire in 180 days.

{{% capture overview %}}
This guide is for upgrading `kubeadm` clusters from version 1.7.x to 1.8.x, as well as 1.7.x to 1.7.y and 1.8.x to 1.8.y where `y > x`.
See also [upgrading kubeadm clusters from 1.6 to 1.7](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm-upgrade-1-7/) if you're on a 1.6 cluster currently.

Before proceeding:
- You need to have a functional `kubeadm` Kubernetes cluster running version 1.7.0 or higher in order to use the process described here.
- Make sure you read the [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v180-beta1) carefully.
- As `kubeadm upgrade` does not upgrade etcd make sure to back it up. You can, for example, use `etcdctl backup` to take care of this.
- Note that `kubeadm upgrade` will not touch any of your workloads, only Kubernetes-internal components. As a best-practice you should back up what's important to you. For example, any app-level state, such as a database an app might depend on (like MySQL or MongoDB) must be backed up beforehand.
Also, note that only one minor version upgrade is supported. That is, you can only upgrade from, say 1.7 to 1.8, not from 1.7 to 1.9.

## Upgrading your control plane
You have to carry out the following steps by executing these commands on your master node:
1. Install the most recent version of `kubeadm` using `curl` like so:
{{< caution >}}
```shell
export VERSION=$(curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt) # or manually specify a released Kubernetes version
export ARCH=amd64 # or: arm, arm64, ppc64le, s390x
curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/${VERSION}/bin/linux/${ARCH}/kubeadm > /usr/bin/kubeadm
chmod a+rx /usr/bin/kubeadm
```
**Caution:** Upgrading the `kubeadm` package on your system prior to
upgrading the control plane causes a failed upgrade. Even though
`kubeadm` is shipped in the Kubernetes repositories, it's important
to install `kubeadm` manually. The kubeadm team is working on fixing
this limitation.
{{< /caution >}}
Verify that this download of kubeadm works, and has the expected version:
```shell
kubeadm version
```
2. If this the first time you use `kubeadm upgrade`, in order to preserve the configuration for future upgrades, do:
Note that for below you will need to recall what CLI args you passed to `kubeadm init` the first time.
If you used flags, do:
```shell
kubeadm config upload from-flags [flags]
```
Where `flags` can be empty.
If you used a config file, do:
```shell
kubeadm config upload from-file --config [config]
```
Where the `config` is mandatory.
3. On the master node, run the following:
```shell
kubeadm upgrade plan
```
You should see output similar to this:
```shell
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks
[upgrade] Making sure the cluster is healthy:

```
`kubeadm upgrade apply` does the following:
- It checks that your cluster is in an upgradeable state, that is:
- The API Server is reachable,
- All nodes are in the `Ready` state, and
- The control plane is healthy
- It enforces the version skew policies.
- It makes sure the control plane images are available or available to pull to the machine.
- It upgrades the control plane components or rollbacks if any of them fails to come up.
- It applies the new `kube-dns` and `kube-proxy` manifests and enforces that all necessary RBAC rules are created.
5. Manually upgrade your Software Defined Network (SDN).
Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider might have its own upgrade instructions to follow now.
Check the [addons](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/) page to
find your CNI provider and see if there are additional upgrade steps
necessary.
6. Add RBAC permissions for automated certificate rotation. In the future, kubeadm will perform this step automatically:
```shell
kubectl create clusterrolebinding kubeadm:node-autoapprove-certificate-rotation --clusterrole=system:certificates.k8s.io:certificatesigningrequests:selfnodeclient --group=system:nodes
```
## Upgrading your master and node packages
For each host (referred to as `$HOST` below) in your cluster, upgrade `kubelet` by executing the following commands:
1. Prepare the host for maintenance, marking it unschedulable and evicting the workload:
```shell
kubectl drain $HOST --ignore-daemonsets
```
When running this command against the master host, this error is expected and can be safely ignored (since there are static pods running on the master):
```shell
node "master" already cordoned
error: pods not managed by ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, Job, DaemonSet or StatefulSet (use --force to override): etcd-kubeadm, kube-apiserver-kubeadm, kube-controller-manager-kubeadm, kube-scheduler-kubeadm
```
2. Upgrade the Kubernetes package versions on the `$HOST` node by using a Linux distribution-specific package manager:
If the host is running a Debian-based distro such as Ubuntu, run:
```shell
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
```
If the host is running CentOS or the like, run:
```shell
yum update
```
Now the new version of the `kubelet` should be running on the host. Verify this using the following command on `$HOST`:
```shell
systemctl status kubelet
```
3. Bring the host back online by marking it schedulable:
```shell
kubectl uncordon $HOST
```
4. After upgrading `kubelet` on each host in your cluster, verify that all nodes are available again by executing the following (from anywhere, for example, from outside the cluster):
```shell
kubectl get nodes
```
If the `STATUS` column of the above command shows `Ready` for all of your hosts, you are done.
## Recovering from a bad state
If `kubeadm upgrade` somehow fails and fails to roll back, due to an unexpected shutdown during execution for instance,
you may run `kubeadm upgrade` again as it is idempotent and should eventually make sure the actual state is the desired state you are declaring.
You can use `kubeadm upgrade` to change a running cluster with `x.x.x --> x.x.x` with `--force`, which can be used to recover from a bad state.

{{% capture prerequisites %}}
Before proceeding:
- You need to have a functional `kubeadm` Kubernetes cluster running version 1.8.0 or higher in order to use the process described here. Swap also needs to be disabled.
- Make sure you read the [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.9.md) carefully.
- `kubeadm upgrade` now allows you to upgrade etcd. `kubeadm upgrade` will also upgrade of etcd to 3.1.10 as part of upgrading from v1.8 to v1.9 by default. This is due to the fact that etcd 3.1.10 is the officially validated etcd version for Kubernetes v1.9. The upgrade is handled automatically by kubeadm for you.
- Note that `kubeadm upgrade` will not touch any of your workloads, only Kubernetes-internal components. As a best-practice you should back up what's important to you. For example, any app-level state, such as a database an app might depend on (like MySQL or MongoDB) must be backed up beforehand.
{{< caution >}}
**Caution:** All the containers will get restarted after the upgrade, due to container spec hash value gets changed.
{{< /caution >}}
Also, note that only one minor version upgrade is supported. For example, you can only upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9, not from 1.7 to 1.9.

To upgrade the cluster with CoreDNS as the default internal DNS, invoke `kubeadm upgrade apply` with the `--feature-gates=CoreDNS=true` flag.
`kubeadm upgrade apply` does the following:
- Checks that your cluster is in an upgradeable state:
- The API server is reachable,
- All nodes are in the `Ready` state
- The control plane is healthy
- Enforces the version skew policies.

{{% capture overview %}}
This guide is for upgrading `kubeadm` HA clusters from version 1.9.x to 1.9.y where `y > x`. The term "`kubeadm` HA clusters" refers to clusters of more than one master node created with `kubeadm`. To set up an HA cluster for Kubernetes version 1.9.x `kubeadm` requires additional manual steps. See [Creating HA clusters with kubeadm](/docs/setup/independent/high-availability/) for instructions on how to do this. The upgrade procedure described here targets clusters created following those very instructions. See [Upgrading/downgrading kubeadm clusters between v1.8 to v1.9](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm-upgrade-1-9/) for more instructions on how to create an HA cluster with `kubeadm`.
This page explains how to upgrade a highly available (HA) Kubernetes cluster created with `kubeadm` from version 1.11.x to version 1.12.x. In addition to upgrading, you must also follow the instructions in [Creating HA clusters with kubeadm](/docs/setup/independent/high-availability/).

# released Kubernetes version
export VERSION=$(curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)
export ARCH=amd64 # or: arm, arm64, ppc64le, s390x
curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/${VERSION}/bin/linux/${ARCH}/kubeadm > /tmp/kubeadm
chmod a+rx /tmp/kubeadm
apt-mark unhold kubeadm && \
apt-get update && apt-get install -y kubeadm && \
apt-mark hold kubeadm
```
Copy this file to `/tmp` on your primary master if necessary. Run this command for checking prerequisites and determining the versions you will receive:
Check prerequisites and determine the upgrade versions:
```shell
/tmp/kubeadm upgrade plan
kubeadm upgrade plan
```
If the prerequisites are met you'll get a summary of the software versions kubeadm will upgrade to, like this:
You should see something like the following:
Upgrade to the latest stable version:
COMPONENT CURRENT AVAILABLE
API Server v1.9.0 v1.9.2
Controller Manager v1.9.0 v1.9.2
Scheduler v1.9.0 v1.9.2
Kube Proxy v1.9.0 v1.9.2
Kube DNS 1.14.5 1.14.7
Etcd 3.2.7 3.1.11
API Server v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Controller Manager v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Scheduler v1.11.3 v1.12.0
Kube Proxy v1.11.3 v1.12.0
CoreDNS 1.1.3 1.2.2
Etcd 3.2.18 3.2.24
{{< caution >}}
**Caution:** Currently the only supported configuration for kubeadm HA clusters requires the use of an externally managed etcd cluster. Upgrading etcd is not supported as a part of the upgrade. If necessary you will have to upgrade the etcd cluster according to [etcd's upgrade instructions](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/configure-upgrade-etcd/), which is beyond the scope of these instructions.

## Stacked control plane nodes
## Upgrading your control plane
### Upgrade the first control plane node
The following procedure must be applied on a single master node and repeated for each subsequent master node sequentially.
Before initiating the upgrade with `kubeadm` `configmap/kubeadm-config` needs to be modified for the current master host. Replace any hard reference to a master host name with the current master hosts' name:
Modify `configmap/kubeadm-config` for this control plane node:
```shell
kubectl get configmap -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o yaml >/tmp/kubeadm-config-cm.yaml
sed -i 's/^\([ \t]*nodeName:\).*/\1 <CURRENT-MASTER-NAME>/' /tmp/kubeadm-config-cm.yaml
kubectl apply -f /tmp/kubeadm-config-cm.yaml --force
kubectl get configmap -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o yaml > kubeadm-config-cm.yaml
```
Now the upgrade process can start. Use the target version determined in the preparation step and run the following command (press “y” when prompted):
Open the file in an editor and replace the following values:
- `api.advertiseAddress`
This should be set to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.advertise-client-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.initial-advertise-peer-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.listen-client-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.listen-peer-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.initial-cluster`
This should be updated to include the hostname and IP address pairs for each control plane node in the cluster. For example:
"ip-172-31-92-42=https://172.31.92.42:2380,ip-172-31-89-186=https://172.31.89.186:2380,ip-172-31-90-42=https://172.31.90.42:2380"
You must also pass an additional argument (`initial-cluster-state: existing`) to etcd.local.extraArgs.
```shell
/tmp/kubeadm upgrade apply v<YOUR-CHOSEN-VERSION-HERE>
kubectl apply -f kubeadm-config-cm.yaml --force
```
If the operation was successful youll get a message like this:
[upgrade/successful] SUCCESS! Your cluster was upgraded to "v1.9.2". Enjoy!
To upgrade the cluster with CoreDNS as the default internal DNS, invoke `kubeadm upgrade apply` with the `--feature-gates=CoreDNS=true` flag.
Next, manually upgrade your CNI provider
Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider may have its own upgrade instructions to follow. Check the [addons](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/) page to find your CNI provider and see if there are additional upgrade steps necessary.
{{< note >}}
**Note:** The `kubeadm upgrade apply` step has been known to fail when run initially on the secondary masters (timed out waiting for the restarted static pods to come up). It should succeed if retried after a minute or two.
{{< /note >}}
## Upgrade base software packages
At this point all the static pod manifests in your cluster, for example API Server, Controller Manager, Scheduler, Kube Proxy have been upgraded, however the base software, for example `kubelet`, `kubectl`, `kubeadm` installed on your nodes OS are still of the old version. For upgrading the base software packages we will upgrade them and restart services on all nodes one by one:
Start the upgrade:
```shell
# use your distro's package manager, e.g. 'yum' on RH-based systems
kubeadm upgrade apply v<YOUR-CHOSEN-VERSION-HERE>
```
You should see something like the following:
[upgrade/successful] SUCCESS! Your cluster was upgraded to "v1.12.0". Enjoy!
The `kubeadm-config` ConfigMap is now updated from `v1alpha2` version to `v1alpha3`.
### Upgrading additional control plane nodes
Each additional control plane node requires modifications that are different from the first control plane node. Run:
```shell
kubectl get configmap -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o yaml > kubeadm-config-cm.yaml
```
Open the file in an editor and replace the following values for `ClusterConfiguration`:
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.advertise-client-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.initial-advertise-peer-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.listen-client-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
- `etcd.local.extraArgs.listen-peer-urls`
This should be updated to the local node's IP address.
You must also modify the `ClusterStatus` to add a mapping for the current host under apiEndpoints.
Add an annotation for the cri-socket to the current node, for example to use docker:
```shell
kubectl annotate node <nodename> kubeadm.alpha.kubernetes.io/cri-socket=/var/run/dockershim.sock
```
Start the upgrade:
```shell
kubeadm upgrade apply v<YOUR-CHOSEN-VERSION-HERE>
```
You should see something like the following:
[upgrade/successful] SUCCESS! Your cluster was upgraded to "v1.12.0". Enjoy!
## External etcd
### Upgrade each control plane
Get a copy of the kubeadm config used to create this cluster. The config should be the same for every node. The config must exist on every control plane node before the upgrade begins.
```
# on each control plane node
kubectl get configmap -n kube-system kubeadm-config -o jsonpath={.data.MasterConfiguration} > kubeadm-config.yaml
```
Now run the upgrade on each control plane node one at a time.
```
kubeadm upgrade apply v1.12.0 --config kubeadm-config.yaml
```
### Upgrade etcd
Kubernetes v1.11 to v1.12 only changed the patch version of etcd from v3.2.18 to v3.2.24. This is a rolling upgrade with no downtime, because you can run both versions in the same cluster.
On the first host, modify the etcd manifest:
```shell
sed -i 's/3.2.18/3.2.24/' /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml
```
Wait for the etcd process to reconnect. There will be error warnings in the other etcd node logs. This is expected.
Repeat this step on the other etcd hosts.
## Next steps
### Manually upgrade your CNI provider
Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider might have its own upgrade instructions to follow. Check the [addons](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/) page to find your CNI provider and see whether you need to take additional upgrade steps.
### Update kubelet and kubectl packages
Upgrade the kubelet and kubectl by running the following on each node:
```shell
# use your distro's package manager, e.g. 'apt-get' on Debian-based systems
# for the versions stick to kubeadm's output (see above)
yum install -y kubelet-<NEW-K8S-VERSION> kubectl-<NEW-K8S-VERSION> kubeadm-<NEW-K8S-VERSION> kubernetes-cni-<NEW-CNI-VERSION>
apt-mark unhold kubelet kubectl && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install kubelet=<NEW-K8S-VERSION> kubectl=<NEW-K8S-VERSION> && \
apt-mark hold kubelet kubectl && \
systemctl restart kubelet
```
In this example an _rpm_-based system is assumed and `yum` is used for installing the upgraded software. On _deb_-based systems it will be `apt-get update` and then `apt-get install <PACKAGE>=<NEW-K8S-VERSION>` for all packages.
In this example a _deb_-based system is assumed and `apt-get` is used for installing the upgraded software. On rpm-based systems the command is `yum install <PACKAGE>=<NEW-K8S-VERSION>` for all packages.
Now the new version of the `kubelet` should be running on the host. Verify this using the following command on the respective host:
Verify that the new version of the kubelet is running:
```shell
systemctl status kubelet
```
Verify that the upgraded node is available again by executing the following from wherever you run `kubectl` commands:
Verify that the upgraded node is available again by running the following command from wherever you run `kubectl`:
```shell
kubectl get nodes
```
If the `STATUS` column of the above command shows `Ready` for the upgraded host, you can continue (you may have to repeat this for a couple of time before the node gets `Ready`).
If the `STATUS` column shows `Ready` for the upgraded host, you can continue. You might need to repeat the command until the node shows `Ready`.
## If something goes wrong
If the upgrade fails the situation afterwards depends on the phase in which things went wrong:
If the upgrade fails, see whether one of the following scenarios applies:
1. If `/tmp/kubeadm upgrade apply` failed to upgrade the cluster it will try to perform a rollback. Hence if that happened on the first master, chances are pretty good that the cluster is still intact.
- If `kubeadm upgrade apply` failed to upgrade the cluster, it will try to perform a rollback. If this is the case on the first master, the cluster is probably still intact.
You can run `/tmp/kubeadm upgrade apply` again as it is idempotent and should eventually make sure the actual state is the desired state you are declaring. You can use `/tmp/kubeadm upgrade apply` to change a running cluster with `x.x.x --> x.x.x` with `--force`, which can be used to recover from a bad state.

2. If `/tmp/kubeadm upgrade apply` on one of the secondary masters failed you still have a working, upgraded cluster, but with the secondary masters in a somewhat undefined condition. You will have to find out what went wrong and join the secondaries manually. As mentioned above, sometimes upgrading one of the secondary masters fails waiting for the restarted static pods first, but succeeds when the operation is simply repeated after a little pause of one or two minutes.
- If `kubeadm upgrade apply` on one of the secondary masters failed, the cluster is upgraded and working, but the secondary masters are in an undefined state. You need to investigate further and join the secondaries manually.
