The var ```-e upgrade_cluster_setup=true``` is needed to be set in order to migrate the deploys of e.g kube-apiserver inside the cluster immediately which is usually only done in the graceful upgrade.

Assuming you don't explicitly define a kubernetes version in your k8s-cluster.yml, you simply check out the next tag and run the upgrade-cluster.yml playbook
* If you do define kubernetes version in your inventory (e.g. group_vars/k8s-cluster.yml) then either make sure to update it before running upgrade-cluster, or specify the new version you're upgrading to: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/mycluster/hosts.ini -b upgrade-cluster.yml -e kube_version=v1.11.3`

The below example shows taking a cluster that was set up for v2.6.0 up to v2.10.0
