Who is responsible for upgrading Dynatrace Managed clusters?

The responsibility for upgrading Dynatrace Managed clusters falls to the administrators via the Cluster Management Console. The Cluster Management Console provides a centralized interface to manage various aspects of Dynatrace Managed installations, including upgrades. This tool is designed for efficiency, allowing admins to effectively monitor and maintain the health and performance of the clusters.

The upgrades often involve important changes and improvements that require careful management to ensure that the system remains stable and continues to meet the monitoring needs of the organization. By utilizing the dedicated interface provided by the Cluster Management Console, administrators can manage the upgrade process systematically and implement best practices for version control and deployment.

While system administrators and cluster management teams may play supporting roles in this process—as they often handle configurations, monitoring, and overall system integrity—the actual initiation and execution of the upgrade through the interface belong to the administrators using the Cluster Management Console. This centralized approach simplifies the process and ensures that upgrades are performed consistently and successfully.
