Upgrade a cluster

Weaviate Cloud (WCD) does not automatically upgrade existing clusters when a new version of Weaviate core is released.

If you have a stand-alone cluster, an upgrade requires system downtime. Consider your business needs, and upgrade your cluster when you have a suitable maintenance window. There is no downtime if you have a high availability (HA) cluster.

Upgrade the Weaviate Database version​

The Cluster details panel contains information about the current Weaviate version and if an update is available:

  1. Open the Weaviate Cloud console and select your cluster.
  2. Click the Update button if available (1).
