# Consul Enterprise Automated Upgrades
|
|
|
|
[Consul Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/consul.html) supports an [upgrade
|
|
pattern](/docs/guides/autopilot.html#upgrade-migrations)
|
|
that allows operators to deploy a complete cluster of new servers and then just wait
|
|
for the upgrade to complete. As the new servers join the cluster, server
|
|
introduction logic checks the version of each Consul server. If the version is
|
|
higher than the version on the current set of voters, it will avoid promoting
|
|
the new servers to voters until the number of new servers matches the number of
|
|
existing servers at the previous version. Once the numbers match, Autopilot will
|
|
begin to promote new servers and demote old ones.
