# Updating Nodes

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

> [!NOTE] Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality.
> We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.

## Before You Begin

- Set up and test the backup procedure on all clusters.

- Perform a backup before attempting node maintenance to preserve data in the event of a failure.

## Update Nodes for Clusters

See the following topics for details on each provider:

- [Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE2) OS Upgrade Process](https://support.scc.suse.com/s/redirect?language=en_US&id=000021301)

- OpenShift: Starting with version 4.16, the Machine Config Operator manages the node’s OS updates
  as part of the cluster update process. For more on node updates and the Machine Config Operator,
