Upgrade with KubeKey

KubeKey is recommended for users whose KubeSphere and Kubernetes were both deployed by the KubeSphere Installer. If your Kubernetes cluster was provisioned by yourself or cloud providers, refer to Upgrade with ks-installer.

Prerequisites

You need to have a KubeSphere cluster running version 2.1.1. If your KubeSphere version is v2.1.0 or earlier, upgrade to v2.1.1 first.
You have downloaded KubeKey. Otherwise, follow the steps below to download it first.
Download KubeKey from its GitHub Release Page or use the following command directly.
curl -sfL https://get-kk.kubesphere.io | VERSION=v1.0.1 sh -
Run the following command first to make sure you download KubeKey from the correct zone.
export KKZONE=cn
Run the following command to download KubeKey:
curl -sfL https://get-kk.kubesphere.io | VERSION=v1.0.1 sh -
Note

After you download KubeKey, if you transfer it to a new machine also with poor network connections to Googleapis, you must run export KKZONE=cn again before you proceed with the steps below.
Note

The commands above download the latest release (v1.0.1) of KubeKey. You can change the version number in the command to download a specific version.

Make kk executable:
```
chmod +x kk
```
Make sure you read Release Notes For 3.0.0 carefully.

Warning

In v3.0.0, KubeSphere refactors many of its components such as Fluent Bit Operator and IAM. Make sure you back up any important components if you heavily customized them but not from the KubeSphere console.
Make your upgrade plan. Two upgrading scenarios are documented below.

Upgrade KubeSphere and Kubernetes

Upgrading steps are different for single-node clusters (all-in-one) and multi-node clusters.

Info

Upgrading Kubernetes will cause Helm to be upgraded from v2 to v3. If you want to continue using helm2, back up it first: cp /usr/local/bin/helm /usr/local/bin/helm2
When upgrading Kubernetes, KubeKey will upgrade from one MINOR version to the next MINOR version until the target version. For example, you may see the upgrading process going from 1.16 to 1.17 and to 1.18, instead of directly jumping to 1.18 from 1.16.

All-in-one cluster

Run the following command to use KubeKey to upgrade your single-node cluster to KubeSphere v3.0.0 and Kubernetes v1.17.9 (default):

./kk upgrade --with-kubernetes v1.17.9 --with-kubesphere v3.0.0

To upgrade Kubernetes to a specific version, explicitly provide the version after the flag --with-kubernetes. Available versions are:

v1.15.12
v1.16.8, v1.16.10, v1.16.12, v1.16.13
v1.17.0, v1.17.4, v1.17.5, v1.17.6, v1.17.7, v1.17.8, v1.17.9
v1.18.3, v1.18.5, v1.18.6

Multi-node cluster

Step1: Generate a configuration file using KubeKey

This command creates a configuration file sample.yaml from your cluster.

./kk create config --from-cluster

Note

It assumes your kubeconfig is allocated in ~/.kube/config. You can change it with the flag --kubeconfig.

Step 2: Modify the configuration file template

Modify sample.yaml based on your cluster configuration. Make sure you replace the following fields correctly.

hosts: Input connection information among your hosts.
roleGroups.etcd: Input etcd members.
controlPlaneEndpoint: Input your load balancer address (Optional).
registry: Input image registry information (Optional).

Note

For more information, see Edit the configuration file or refer to the Cluster section of the complete configuration file for more information.

Step 3: Upgrade your cluster

The following command upgrades your cluster to KubeSphere v3.0.0 and Kubernetes v1.17.9 (default):

./kk upgrade --with-kubernetes v1.17.9 --with-kubesphere v3.0.0 -f config-sample.yaml

To upgrade Kubernetes to a specific version, explicitly provide the version after the flag --with-kubernetes. Available versions are:

v1.15.12
v1.16.8, v1.16.10, v1.16.12, v1.16.13
v1.17.0, v1.17.4, v1.17.5, v1.17.6, v1.17.7, v1.17.8, v1.17.9
v1.18.3, v1.18.5, v1.18.6
