# Update an LKS cluster

> Renames a cluster, edits its description, or upgrades the control plane. At least one of `name`, `description` or `kubernetes_version` must be provided.

Setting a newer `kubernetes_version` consents to a control-plane upgrade; the value must be a patch listed by `GET /lks/available_versions` with `available_for_upgrade: true` and must not be lower than the current one. Node pools are upgraded separately and must never run a patch newer than the control plane.

The cluster must be idle: a cluster that is provisioning, updating, scaling, upgrading, paused or deleting rejects the request with 409.
