During the upgrade process, the replica node of your cache is first upgraded to run Redis version 6. The upgrade replica node then takes over as the primary node for your cache while the former primary node reboots to take on the role of replica. This process is exactly like the patching process described in [How does patching occur?](cache-failover.md#how-does-patching-occur).
