+title: Upgrading/downgrading kubeadm clusters between v1.8 to v1.9
+---
+
+{% capture overview %}
+
+This guide is for upgrading `kubeadm` clusters from version 1.8.x to 1.9.x, as well as 1.8.x to 1.8.y and 1.9.x to 1.9.y where `y > x`.
+See also [upgrading kubeadm clusters from 1.7 to 1.8](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm-upgrade-1-8/) if you're on a 1.7 cluster currently.
+
+{% endcapture %}
+
+{% capture prerequisites %}
+
+Before proceeding:
+
+- You need to have a functional `kubeadm` Kubernetes cluster running version 1.8.0 or higher in order to use the process described here. Swap also needs to be disabled.
+- Make sure you read the [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.9.md) carefully.
+- `kubeadm upgrade` now allows you to upgrade etcd. `kubeadm upgrade` will also upgrade of etcd to 3.1.10 as part of upgrading from v1.8 to v1.9 by default. This is due to the fact that etcd 3.1.10 is the officially validated etcd version for Kubernetes v1.9. The upgrade is handled automatically by kubeadm for you.
+- Note that `kubeadm upgrade` will not touch any of your workloads, only Kubernetes-internal components. As a best-practice you should back up what's important to you. For example, any app-level state, such as a database an app might depend on (like MySQL or MongoDB) must be backed up beforehand.
+
+Also, note that only one minor version upgrade is supported. For example, you can only upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9, not from 1.7 to 1.9.
+
+{% endcapture %}
+
+{% capture steps %}
+
+## Upgrading your control plane
+
+Execute these commands on your master node:
+
+1. Install the most recent version of `kubeadm` using `curl` like so:
+
+```shell
+$ export VERSION=$(curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt) # or manually specify a released Kubernetes version
+$ export ARCH=amd64 # or: arm, arm64, ppc64le, s390x
+$ curl -sSL https://dl.k8s.io/release/${VERSION}/bin/linux/${ARCH}/kubeadm > /usr/bin/kubeadm
+$ chmod a+rx /usr/bin/kubeadm
+```
+
+**Caution:** Upgrading the `kubeadm` package on your system prior to upgrading the control plane causes a failed upgrade. 
+Even though `kubeadm` ships in the Kubernetes repositories, it's important to install `kubeadm` manually. The kubeadm 
+team is working on fixing this limitation. 
+{: .caution}
+
+Verify that this download of kubeadm works and has the expected version:
+
+```shell
+$ kubeadm version
+```
+
+2. On the master node, run the following:
+
+```shell
+$ kubeadm upgrade plan
+[preflight] Running pre-flight checks
+[upgrade] Making sure the cluster is healthy:
+[upgrade/health] Checking API Server health: Healthy
+[upgrade/health] Checking Node health: All Nodes are healthy

+The `kubeadm upgrade plan` checks that your cluster is upgradeable and fetches the versions available to upgrade to in an user-friendly way.
+
+3. Pick a version to upgrade to and run. For example:

+```
+
+`kubeadm upgrade apply` does the following:
+
+- Checks that your cluster is in an upgradeable state:
+  - The API server is reachable,
+  - All nodes are in the `Ready` state
+  - The control plane is healthy
+- Enforces the version skew policies.
+- Makes sure the control plane images are available or available to pull to the machine.
+- Upgrades the control plane components or rollbacks if any of them fails to come up.
+- Applies the new `kube-dns` and `kube-proxy` manifests and enforces that all necessary RBAC rules are created.
+
+4. Manually upgrade your Software Defined Network (SDN).
+
+   Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider may have its own upgrade instructions to follow.
+   Check the [addons](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/) page to
+   find your CNI provider and see if there are additional upgrade steps
+   necessary.
+
+## Upgrading your master and node packages
+
+For each host (referred to as `$HOST` below) in your cluster, upgrade `kubelet` by executing the following commands:
+
+1. Prepare the host for maintenance, marking it unschedulable and evicting the workload:
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl drain $HOST --ignore-daemonsets
+```
+
+When running this command against the master host, this error is expected and can be safely ignored (since there are static pods running on the master):
+
+```shell
+node "master" already cordoned
+error: pods not managed by ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, Job, DaemonSet or StatefulSet (use --force to override): etcd-kubeadm, kube-apiserver-kubeadm, kube-controller-manager-kubeadm, kube-scheduler-kubeadm
+```
+
+2. Upgrade the Kubernetes package versions on the `$HOST` node by using a Linux distribution-specific package manager:
+
+If the host is running a Debian-based distro such as Ubuntu, run:
+
+```shell
+$ apt-get update
+$ apt-get upgrade
+```
+
+If the host is running CentOS or the like, run:
+
+```shell
+$ yum update
+```
+
+Now the new version of the `kubelet` should be running on the host. Verify this using the following command on `$HOST`:
+
+```shell
+$ systemctl status kubelet
+```
+
+3. Bring the host back online by marking it schedulable:
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl uncordon $HOST
+```
+
+4. After upgrading `kubelet` on each host in your cluster, verify that all nodes are available again by executing the following (from anywhere, for example, from outside the cluster):
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl get nodes
+```
+
+If the `STATUS` column of the above command shows `Ready` for all of your hosts, you are done.
+
+## Recovering from a failure state
+
+If `kubeadm upgrade` somehow fails and fails to roll back, for example due to an unexpected shutdown during execution,
+you can run `kubeadm upgrade` again as it is idempotent and should eventually make sure the actual state is the desired state you are declaring.
+
+You can use `kubeadm upgrade` to change a running cluster with `x.x.x --> x.x.x` with `--force`, which can be used to recover from a bad state.
