+## EKS Upgrading
+To upgrade k8s cluster to a new version, please use [official guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/update-cluster.html) and check changelog/breaking changes. 
+Starting from v1.18 EKS supports K8S add-ons. We use them to update things like vpc-cni, kube-proxy, coredns. To get the latest add-ons versions, run:
+```bash
+aws eks describe-addon-versions --kubernetes-version 1.21 --query 'addons[].[addonName, addonVersions[0].addonVersion]'
+```
+where 1.21 - is a k8s version on which we are updating. 
+DO NOT FORGET!!! to update cluster-autoscaler too. It's version must be the same as the cluster version.  
+Also ***IT'S VERY RECOMMENDED*** to check that deployed objects have actual apiVersions that won't be deleted after upgrading. There is a tool [*pluto*](https://github.com/FairwindsOps/pluto) that can help to do it.  
+```bash
+Switch to the correct cluster
+Run `pluto detect-helm -o markdown --target-versions k8s=v1.22.0`, where `k8s=v1.22.0` is a k8s version we want to update to. 
+```
