just in general what is the best order to do the inplace cluster upgrade (im looking to do 1.24.13 to 1.25.9) OS -> rke2 -> rancher or OS -> rancher -> rke2 ? also i cant seem to find the documentation anymore as to what needs to be done on the cluster before upgrading to 1.25.x is possible, anyone have it? 🙂 Thanks

Personally, I go from bottom up... Others may have different approach or recommendation So, OS -> Kubernetes (RKE2) -> application (rancher) But, also check the support matrix: https://www.suse.com/suse-rancher/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/rancher-v2-7-0/
