25.8. Checking the status of an upgrade

When performing an upgrade (or downgrade), you can check it completed successfully in the status of the Kafka custom resource. The status provides information on the Streams for Apache Kafka and Kafka versions being used.

To ensure that you have the correct versions after completing an upgrade, verify the kafkaVersion and operatorLastSuccessfulVersion values in the Kafka status.

You can use these values to check an upgrade of Streams for Apache Kafka or Kafka has completed.
