Upgrade states

The states a cluster or platform upgrade moves through, and the cluster upgrade deployment phases.

Upgrades report progress differently for clusters and for platform releases.

Cluster version upgrade

When you change a cluster's version, the cluster enters Updating and continues serving queries on the current version. On success it returns to Running on the new version; on failure it automatically reverts and returns to Running on the previous version, with the failure recorded in Activity History. See Zero-downtime upgrades.

For In-VPC deployments, the cluster also exposes a deployment phase: Stable → Deploying → Switching → Draining → Cleanup → Stable (or RollingBack). See CloudPrem cluster operations.

Platform release states

A platform release (Platform Components) progresses through:

Status	Meaning
Not deployed	No platform release deployed through this section yet (not an outage)
Pending	Selected, not yet started
Deploying	Rollout in progress
Deployed	Successfully live
Failed	One or more components failed
Rolled Back	The deploy failed and was automatically reverted to the previous version

See Rollbacks, failure modes, and recovery and Status signals.
