Upgrade

How to upgrade to the latest version of the Lifecycle Toolkit

If you installed the previous version of the Lifecycle Toolkit using helm, you can upgrade to the latest version by running the same command sequence used to install KLT:

helm repo add klt https://charts.lifecycle.keptn.sh
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install keptn klt/klt \
   -n keptn-lifecycle-toolkit-system --create-namespace --wait

Use the --set flag or download and edit the values.yaml file to modify the configuration as discused on the Install the Lifecycle Toolkit page.

Warning If you installed your Lifecycle Toolkit instance from the Manifest, additional steps are required to use the Helm Chart to upgrade. Contact us on Slack for assistance.

Migrate from v0.6.0 to v0.7.0

Keptn Lifecycle Toolkit Version v0.7.0 introduces the metrics-operator, which is now separate from the lifecycle-operator. Some functionality and behavior has been moved, changed, or renamed.

Specifically, the KeptnMetricsProvider CRD replaces the now-deprecated KeptnEvaluationProvider CRD. Consequently, you must manually migrate the existing functionality to the KeptnMetricsProvider CRD. Execute the following external bash script to do this:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keptn/lifecycle-toolkit/main/.github/scripts/keptnevaluationprovider_migrator.sh | bash

This fetches and migrates all KeptnEvaluationProvider CRs for the cluster at which your kubernetes context is pointing. If you have multiple clusters, you must run this command for each one.

This script does the following:

  • Fetch all existing KeptnEvaluationProvider CRs
  • Migrate each to KeptnMetricsProvider CRs
  • Store the migrated manifests in the current working directory
  • Ask the user to apply the created manifests and delete the deprecated KeptnEvaluationProvider CRs.
