# Does PMK Cluster Upgrade Include Both Kubernetes and ETCD?

## Problem

Does the PMK cluster upgrade include both Kubernetes and ETCD?

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions

## Answer

With regards to both On-Prem and SaaS setups, the PMK cluster upgrade will take care of Kubernetes and ETCD upgrade without any manual intervention but it has to be triggered by the end-users in the U/I at their own convenience.

## Additional Information

1. You can refer to the following link [Cluster Upgrade](https://docs.platform9.com/kubernetes/upgrade-cluster) to learn more about the PMK cluster upgrade process and considerations.
2. You can refer to this link [Support Matrix](https://docs.platform9.com/kubernetes/support-matrix) which has information about each PMK version and its supported Kubernetes Component along with the version.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmk/frequently-asked-questions/does-pmk-cluster-upgrade-include-both-kubernetes-and-etcd.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
