gke is pretty good at that, if there is a forced upgrade coming they will let you know months in advance.

- beebmam 4y agoThere isn't a single managed vendor of Kubernetes that won't force an upgrade (or shut down your entire cluster if you don't upgrade). It is too costly for these companies to maintain so many old versions of Kubernetes that are not supported. If you want a Kubernetes cluster that never gets forcibly updated or shut down, you should not be using a managed service, period.
- kobalsky 4y agoI may have not expressed it well but what I wanted to say was that GKE communicates very clearly when you will be hit with a forced non-patch upgrade, not that upgrades are undesirable. Running a cluster without updates is a deathwish.
