Upgrading kubernetes

Upgrading kubernetes is very easy with kops, as long as you are using a compatible version of kops. The kops 1.8.x series (for example) supports the kubernetes 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 series, as per the kubernetes deprecation policy. Older versions of kubernetes will likely still work, but these are on a best-effort basis and will have little if any testing. kops 1.8 will not support the kubernetes 1.9 series, and for full support of kubernetes 1.9 it is best to wait for the kops 1.9 series release. We aim to release the next major version of kops within a few weeks of the equivalent major release of kubernetes, so kops 1.9.0 will be released within a few weeks of kubernetes 1.9.0. We try to ensure that a 1.9 pre-release (alpha or beta) is available at the kubernetes release, for early adopters.

Upgrading kubernetes is similar to changing the image on an InstanceGroup, except that the kubernetes version is controlled at the cluster level. So instead of kops edit ig <name>, we kops edit cluster, and change the kubernetesVersion field. kops edit cluster will open your editor with the cluster, similar to:

# Please edit the object below. Lines beginning with a '#' will be ignored,
# and an empty file will abort the edit. If an error occurs while saving this file will be
# reopened with the relevant failures.

Edit kubernetesVersion, changing it to 1.7.7 for example.

Apply the changes to the cloud infrastructure using kops update cluster and kops update cluster --yes:

Will create resources:

Will modify resources:
  InstanceGroupManager/us-central1-a-master-us-central1-a-simple-k8s-local
  	InstanceTemplate    	 id:master-us-central1-a-simple-k8s-local-1507089163 -> name:master-us-central1-a-simple-k8s-local

  	InstanceTemplate    	 id:nodes-simple-k8s-local-1507089694 -> name:nodes-simple-k8s-local

kops rolling-update cluster will show that all nodes need to be restarted.

NAME			STATUS		NEEDUPDATE	READY	MIN	MAX	NODES
master-us-central1-a	NeedsUpdate	1		0	1	1	1
nodes			NeedsUpdate	3		0	3	3	3

Restart the instances with kops rolling-update cluster --yes.
