Accelerate Kubernetes Upgrades

Upgrade faster, stay secure, and reduce engineering overhead

The Problem

Even with managed Kubernetes services like EKS, GKE, and AKS, upgrading at scale is a painful, high-stakes process. Plural takes the complexity out of upgrades with automated compatibility checks, dependency validation, and orchestrated rollouts across your fleet — so your team can move faster without putting stability, security, or compliance at risk.

Managing upgrades still takes weeks — even on managed platforms

Kubernetes control planes might be automated, but the hard parts are still on your team. Compatibility, deprecations, add-ons, workloads — it’s all on you. Without automation, upgrades demand:

Weeks of Research: Mapping compatibility across versions, addons, CRDs, and manifests

Manual Validation: Testing third-party integrations, node pools, and configs by hand

Repetitive Engineering Work: Burning your most senior engineers on dependency and rollout scripting

Constant Risk Management: Balancing security patches against potential production breakage

Why delaying upgrades is even more expensive

Postponing upgrades introduces hidden — and not-so-hidden — costs:

Security vulnerabilities from unpatched CVEs

Failed compliance audits due to unsupported versions

Cloud provider penalties (like EKS extended support fees)

Forced obsolescence: due to inability to use the latest software

Performance degradation and brittle infrastructure With Plural, you can move fast and stay protected.

How Plural Can Help

You don't have to do it alone.

Run preflight checks across your environment

Validate every component before upgrading — from core workloads to edge-case addons.

Scan GitOps-based configurations for compatibility

Analyze CRDs, third-party addons, and cluster settings

Identify issues before they impact production

Replace manual QA cycles with smart, automated checks

Catch deprecated APIs before they break things

Upgrades are notorious for introducing breakage due to API deprecations. Plural watches for them continuously — and alerts you early.

Monitor usage of deprecated APIs across Git repos and clusters

Prevent CI/CD failures and cluster misbehavior

Keep workloads running smoothly on every supported version

Resolve upgrade blockers in minutes, not days

Plural surfaces upgrade blockers across environments and shows you how to fix them.

Understand the root causes behind upgrade failures

See a prioritized list of blockers and their impact

Get clear, actionable remediation guidance and automatically created pull-requests to resolve blockers

Save hours of cross-team coordination and trial-and-error debugging

Book a demo

Manage complex addon compatibility automatically

Add-on and CRD mismatches are one of the most painful parts of upgrades. Plural tracks them all — and validates compatibility for you.

Use an extensible compatibility database covering official and third-party addons

Understand version requirements and interdependencies at a glance

Avoid surprises during rollout

Spend less time reading changelogs, more time shipping

Upgrade smarter with intelligent version selection

Stop guessing which version to target. Plural automatically recommends the latest compatible release based on your current state and ecosystem.

Cross-reference Kubernetes version compatibility with your addons, workloads, and CRDs

Autogenerate pull requests to update manifests with the right version

Confidently upgrade greenfield and brownfield clusters

Avoid regressions and configuration drift

Roll out safely across your fleet

Upgrades are more than one-off events — they’re fleet-wide operations. Plural handles the coordination.

Automate phased rollouts across dev, staging, and prod

Configure rollback logic and safety checks

Monitor progress and get alerts during rollout

Standardize upgrades without writing custom tooling

Running Kubernetes at the Edge with Plural: A Practical Guide

Traditional Kubernetes deployments assume reliable network connectivity and easy access to hardware. Edge deployments flip this model on its head. You're often dealing with remote locations where technical expertise may be limited and intermittent or non-existent network connectivity.

Product Update | April Edition

We're excited to announce our new log aggregation capabilities! Plural now supports an interchangeable log driver interface with initial support for Elasticsearch.
