Update from 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-05-22-052007 to newer version

[dkoci]

Hi.
We updated our cluster from 4.12 to 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-05-22-052007 version. There are 3 newer versions available

Is it safe to update to any of these 3 versions? I am a bit confused, because as you can see on the pic below, there are failed updates (4.13.0-0.okd-2023-05-22-052007 Upgrades to) to any of 3 newer versions

Thank you

Yes, that means "CI job verifying the upgrade has passed at least once". Upgrades to 07-09 failed and this edge is not available.

Whether is it safe to upgrade your clusters - we don't have a definite answer to that. In CI we focus on AWS/GCP to have comparable results. In order to evaluate the risks you want to review why the jobs failed. Seems they fall in two categories:

• initial release could not be installed:

• disruption of API / services was too high:

Another good idea is checking issues/discussions first - we get the majority of issues reported in first few days are the upgrade edge is available and usually provide a workaround
