## How can I upgrade my cluster versions?
7+
8+
Upgrading your shoot cluster version can be done manually or by pressing the *Upgrade* button in the Dashboard.
9+
10+
In order to manually update your cluster, you need to change the value of `kubernetes.version` in your shoot spec. Some specifics:
11+
12+
- You must only increment by one minor version (`01.XX.01`) at a time. Supported versions can be found in your garden cluster's cloud profile.
13+
- You can increment by as many patch versions (`01.01.XX`) as you would like at once.
14+
- Once your cluster has been upgraded, you cannot rollback to a previous version.
15+
16+
> [!WARNING]
17+
> Before updating a cluster, you should be aware of the [potential errors this might cause](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/shoot/shoot_kubernetes_versions.md).

It is therefore recommended to first update your test cluster and validate it before performing changes on a productive environment.

## Can Kubernetes upgrade automatically?
26+
27+
There is no automatic migration of major/minor versions of Kubernetes. You need to [update your clusters manually](#how-can-i-upgrade-my-cluster-versions) or press the *Upgrade* button in the Dashboard.
