 ## Upgrading Kubernetes resources
 
 During the cluster initialization, multiple Kubernetes resources are deployed. Some of these should be upgraded with Kubernetes.
-Look at [the resources folder](/bootstrapper/internal/kubernetes/k8sapi/resources) and decide what needs to be upgraded. Cloud provider specific images are defined in [`github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/bootstrapper/cloudprovider`](/bootstrapper/cloudprovider/images.go). You can check available version tags for container images using [the container registry tags API](https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/api/#listing-image-tags):
