I raised an issue on the Azure Support asking for how this will be done once Kubernetes on Azure reaches GA (General Availability), and the answer I got for this was that it's a "reasonable expectation" that there either will be explicit support for automatically upgrading the Kubernetes components, **or** that there will be documentation on how to accomplish this manually, as part of the official documentation of the Azure Container Service. Both options are valid in my opinion.
