# Vertically Scaling Controlplane Vsphere Templates in 2.2
First get the current vm template names

kubectl get VSphereMachineTemplate
NAME                    AGE
vsphere-control-plane   2d22h
vsphere-md-0            2d22h

Make a copy of the current templates

kubectl get vspheremachinetemplates vsphere-control-plane -o yaml > vsphere-control-plane-large.yaml

kubectl get vspheremachinetemplates vsphere-md-0  -o yaml > vsphere-md-0-large.yaml

Edit the new files and adjust CPU, Memory or disk size and give the template a new name

apply the new templates

kubectl apply -f vsphere-control-plane-large.yaml
kubectl apply -f vsphere-md-0-large.yaml

List all KubeadmControlPlane

kubectl get KubeadmControlPlane
vsphere-control-plane

Now edit the KubeadmControlPlane for the cluster

kubectl edit KubeadmControlPlane vsphere-control-plane

Now change the template name in the file to the new name

machineTemplate:
    infrastructureRef:
      apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
      kind: VSphereMachineTemplate
      name: vsphere-control-plane-large
      namespace: default

You should now see the controlplanes doing a rolling upgrade
