This is probably one of the simplest blog posts I’ll publish.

To see if there is an available update for your Kasten install.

- In the dashboard click > Settings
- Click on Support

See if there is a notification under the Cluster Information heading.

[![kasten dashboard support cluster information](https://i0.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/kasten-dashboard-support-cluster-information.png?resize=604%2C423&ssl=1)](https://i0.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/kasten-dashboard-support-cluster-information.png?ssl=1)

Clicking the “upgrade to version x.x.x” button will take you to this [Kasten Docs page](https://docs.kasten.io/latest/install/upgrade.html).

Or you can follow the same instructions with real life screenshots below.

To upgrade run the following using helm:

```
helm repo update && \
    helm get values k10 --output yaml --namespace=kasten-io > k10_val.yaml && \
    helm upgrade k10 kasten/k10 --namespace=kasten-io -f k10_val.yaml
```

You will see messages similar to the below.

[![helm upgrade k10 kasten k10 - upgrade in progress - upgrade complete](https://i1.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/helm-upgrade-k10-kasten-k10-upgrade-in-progress-upgrade-complete.png?resize=604%2C244&ssl=1)](https://i1.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/helm-upgrade-k10-kasten-k10-upgrade-in-progress-upgrade-complete.png?ssl=1)

If I now look at my pods in my namespace “Kasten-IO” I can see they are being recreated as the deployment artifacts will have been updated with the new configuration including container images.

[![helm upgrade k10 kasten - oc get pods -n kasten-io](https://i2.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/helm-upgrade-k10-kasten-oc-get-pods-n-kasten-io.png?resize=604%2C287&ssl=1)](https://i2.wp.com/veducate.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/helm-upgrade-k10-kasten-oc-get-pods-n-kasten-io.png?ssl=1)

And finally looking back at my Kasten Dashboard for the cluster information, I can see I am now at the latest version.
