Generally Available: Multi-cluster Auto-upgrade in Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager

Platform administrators managing large number of Kubernetes clusters face the challenge of updating Kubernetes or node images in a way that is safe and predictable. To address this challenge, Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager (Fleet Manager) provides update runs which are used to deploy updates across multiple Kubernetes clusters using safe deployment practices. 

Fleet Manager is announcing the general availability of Auto-upgrade support, which provides an automated trigger for update runs based on new Kubernetes or node image versions being published to Azure. Admins can create multiple auto-upgrade profiles for their fleet to capture combinations of Kubernetes and node image version updates. Additionally, existing update run strategies can be used to determine the order in which clusters are updated, while guaranteeing cluster upgrades occur within the maintenance windows configured at each cluster.
