In-Place Upgrades to Amazon EKS v1.26 using Rafay
In our recent release in July, we added support for in-place upgrades of existing EKS clusters to Kubernetes v1.26. Customers tell us that they wish to be extremely careful with in-place upgrades of their existing EKS clusters because there is no benefit in rushing this and impacting mission critical applications etc. Provisioning of new EKS v1.26 clusters using Rafay has been supported for a while now.
Note
Organizations that wish to perform sophisticated checks for API deprecation etc are strongly recommended to use Rafay's Fleet Operations for Amazon EKS.
