Manually Upgrading Cloudera AI Inference service using the CLI

In cases where a Cloudera AI Inference service upgrade is available but no Kubernetes upgrade is required, you can upgrade the Cloudera AI Inference service directly.

You can upgrade an existing Cloudera AI Inference service instance when a higher supported version becomes available. Upgrading allows you to take advantage of new features, performance improvements, security updates, and supported component versions.

Upgrade your Cloudera AI Inference service in the following cases:

A higher version of Cloudera AI Inference service is released.
Security patches or critical bug fixes are available.
New features or enhancements are required.
Alignment with the latest supported Kubernetes, Istio, or serving components is needed.

Run the following command to list all inference services and locate the appcrn for your specific instance:
```
cdp ml list-ml-serving-apps
```

Run the upgrade command using the CRN identified in the previous step:

cdp ml upgrade-ml-serving-app --app-crn <app crn in double quotes>

For example:

cdp ml upgrade-ml-serving-app --app-crn "appcrn": "crn:cdp:ml:us-west-1:230228-5d32-4adf-936c-a71364d41ea:mlserving:5eaac17c-df0a-4aa8-bfd5-c07d6fdafc74"
