Use system-upgrade-controller and have correct version displayed in Rancher GUI

[gfaugere-chut]

I am working in an environment where Rancher is installed, and I want to progressively deploy more IaC in my stack

One of the things I want to manage through code is my k8s versions upgrade, so I wanted to deploy SUC and have it update my cluster - which looked like it was working perfectly, until I peeked at the GUI which was showing my cluster as "Updating..." and the previous version in the "Version" column

What would be the correct way to maintain Rancher clusters with IaC? Is SUC not the answer?

If you're using Rancher you should manage the version through Rancher.

Alright, but does "through Rancher" mean "only through the GUI"? Does Rancher exposes CRDs that we could work with maybe?

[brandond]

Yes you can edit the cluster object.

Can you point me to documentation about Rancher CRDs and how to manage/worth with them?

[brandond]

I don't know that there is extensive documentation on all the Rancher custom resources, but the correct place to ask would be at https://github.com/rancher/rancher
