# Upgrade your cluster
Constellation provides an easy way to upgrade to the next release.
This involves choosing a new VM image to use for all nodes in the cluster and updating the cluster's expected measurements.
## Plan the upgrade
If you don't already know the image you want to upgrade to, use the `upgrade plan` command to pull a list of available updates.
```bash
constellation upgrade plan
```
The command lets you interactively choose from a list of available updates and prepares your Constellation config file for the next step.
To use the command in scripts, use the `--file` flag to compile the available options into a YAML file.
You can then set the chosen upgrade option in your Constellation config file.
:::caution
`constellation upgrade plan` only works for official Edgeless release images.
If your cluster is using a custom image, the Constellation CLI will fail to find compatible images.
However, you may still use the `upgrade execute` command by manually selecting a compatible image and setting it in your config file.
:::
## Execute the upgrade
Once your config file has been prepared with the new image and measurements, use the `upgrade execute` command to initiate the upgrade.
```bash
constellation upgrade execute
```
After the command has finished, the cluster will automatically replace old nodes using a rolling update strategy to ensure no downtime of the control or data plane.
