This initial milestone will aim to provide the following:

1. Guidance on how to perform EKS cluster upgrades using EKS Blueprints for EKS managed node groups, self-managed node groups, and Fargate profiles
2. Updates to addons to improve the upgrade experience for users (i.e. - ensuring pod disruption budgets are set on addons where available, multiple replicas are configured for the addon, version alignment with the cluster version, etc.)

Out of scope for part 1:

• Upgrade guidance for the breadth of addons that are currently supported (i.e. - questions such as "How do I upgrade my cluster running cluster autoscaler, ALB ingress controller, prometheus, etc." will not be answered in part 1). The initial guidance will focus largely on the AWS provided resources and their upgrade lifecycle
• Blue/green upgrade guidance
