Upgrading a Basic Cluster to an Enhanced Cluster

Find out how to upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster using Kubernetes Engine (OKE).

You can upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster, provided it is VCN-native. A VCN-native cluster is a cluster with a Kubernetes API endpoint that is completely integrated into your own VCN. You cannot upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster if it is not VCN-native. For information about migrating a cluster to be VCN-native, see Migrating to VCN-Native Clusters.

Note that after you upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster, you can't downgrade the enhanced cluster back to a basic cluster.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under Containers & Artifacts, click Kubernetes Clusters (OKE).
    2. Select the compartment that contains the cluster.
    3. On the Clusters page, click the name of the basic cluster that you want to upgrade to an enhanced cluster.

      The cluster details page shows Cluster type: Basic.

    4. Click Upgrade to Enhanced Cluster.
    5. Select the Upgrade to Enhanced Cluster option to confirm that want to upgrade the basic cluster to an enhanced cluster.

      Note that after you upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster, you can't downgrade the enhanced cluster back to a basic cluster.

    6. Click Upgrade.

      The basic cluster is upgraded to an enhanced cluster.

      The cluster details page now shows Cluster type: Enhanced.

  • Use the oci ce cluster update command and required parameters to upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster:

    oci ce cluster update --cluster-id <cluster-ocid> --type ENHANCED_CLUSTER [OPTIONS]

    For example: 

    oci ce cluster update --cluster-id ocid1.cluster.oc1.iad.aaaaaaaaaf______jrd --type ENHANCED_CLUSTER

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the UpdateCluster operation to upgrade a basic cluster to an enhanced cluster.
