Version: v1.7 (Dev)

Upgrade from v1.6.x to v1.7.x

General Information​

An Upgrade button appears on the Dashboard screen whenever a new Harvester version that you can upgrade to becomes available. For more information, see Start an upgrade.

Clusters running v1.6.x can upgrade to v1.7.x directly because Harvester allows a maximum of one minor version upgrade for underlying components. Harvester v1.6.0 and v1.6.1 use the same minor version of RKE2 (v1.33), while Harvester v1.7.0 and v1.7.1 use the next minor version (v1.34). For more information, see Upgrade paths.

For information about upgrading Harvester in air-gapped environments, see Prepare an air-gapped upgrade.
