## In-place Upgrades to Amazon EKS v1.28 Clusters using Rafay

In our recent release, we added support for **in-place upgrades** of [EKS clusters](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/eks/overview/) based on Kubernetes v1.28.

Our customers have shared with us that they would like to provision **new** EKS clusters using **new** Kubernetes versions so that they do not have to plan/schedule for Kubernetes upgrades for these clusters **right away**. As a result, we generally introduce support for **new cluster provisioning** for the new Kubernetes version first and then follow up with support for **zero touch in-place upgrades**.

Note

Organizations that wish to perform sophisticated checks for API deprecation etc are strongly recommended to use Rafay's **Fleet Operations** for Amazon EKS.
