I have a cluster that I'm looking to upgrade on AWS and was holding off for some information on upgrade procedures but I see this "Instructions coming soon" under "Known Issues and Important Steps before Upgrading".

There is some information here: http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/cluster-management/

I've had a lot of bad experiences with the Kubernetes docs being misleading, outdated, or incomplete, so be relying on anything there.

We have a brand new repo for fixing these things - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io - but that said, if you EVER run into something misleading, outdated or incomplete, please ping immediately!

Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubernetes.

Thanks! I'm aware of that repo. I think the problem is much deeper than can be fixed by creating more issues in the repo. The docs for k8s really need to be approached holistically by a technical writer or someone else who works on it full time. What's there now, and the approach the project has taken towards docs thus far, has resulted in information that is inconsistent, not well organized, and not well maintained. I think comprehensive documentation should be considered a requirement for a release—just as important as the code or the test suite. Software is only useful if people can figure out how to use it, and it's very hard to do that when it's so difficult to find high quality information.
Yeah kube-push.sh is mentioned there but it's disabled for all cluster types apparently.
How did you setup the cluster on AWS? Which instructions did you follow?
I just followed the setup procedure from the k8 docs: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/aws/
what matburt said,plus be sure to setup TLS from CoreOS docs
