The following is an example of what you might see when this insight is triggered. Real insights use live data and links from your deployment or cluster.
Your current version is 8.15.0. It is strongly recommended to upgrade your version to 9.5.0. The later version has multiple features, performance, and stability improvements, as well as security patches, which you will benefit from.
AutoOps shows different recommendations depending on how their conditions match your deployment or cluster.
Upgrade cluster version
Condition: Always shown for this insight.
Upgrade from 8.15.0 to 9.5.0 for performance, security, and feature improvements. Review breaking changes before upgrading.
Your current version is out of date. Later versions are more efficient and will enable you to achieve better performance for any given hardware specification. Moreover, as earlier versions are not supported anymore, you will not be able to benefit from security patches, which exposes your cluster to potential security threats, such as ransomware.
