EKS upgrade strategies: Blue/green vs. in-place

Kubernetes expert Chimbu Chinnadurai explains strategies for upgrading Amazon EKS clusters, comparing Blue/Green and in-place upgrade approaches.

Specifically, he covers:

➡️ The pros and cons of Blue/Green EKS upgrades
➡️ Best practices for version upgrades
➡️ Considerations for stateful workloads during upgrades
➡️ DNS switching strategies between clusters
➡️ Recommendations for version jump limits

Original question was "How can I upgrade easier or else make blue/green upgrade easier?"
