kops rolling-update ¶

Rolling update a cluster.

Synopsis ¶

This command updates a kubernetes cluster to match the cloud and kops specifications.

To perform a rolling update, you need to update the cloud resources first with the command kops update cluster.

If rolling-update does not report that the cluster needs to be rolled, you can force the cluster to be rolled with the force flag. Rolling update drains and validates the cluster by default. A cluster is deemed validated when all required nodes are running and all pods in the kube-system namespace are operational. When a node is deleted, rolling-update sleeps the interval for the node type, and then tries for the same period of time for the cluster to be validated. For instance, setting --master-interval=3m causes rolling-update to wait for 3 minutes after a master is rolled, and another 3 minutes for the cluster to stabilize and pass validation.

Note: terraform users will need to run all of the following commands from the same directory kops update cluster --target=terraform then terraform plan then terraform apply prior to running kops rolling-update cluster.

Examples ¶

  # Preview a rolling-update.
  kops rolling-update cluster

  # Roll the currently selected kops cluster with defaults.
  # Nodes will be drained and the cluster will be validated between node replacement.
  kops rolling-update cluster --yes

  # Roll the k8s-cluster.example.com kops cluster,
  # do not fail if the cluster does not validate,
  # wait 8 min to create new node, and wait at least
  # 8 min to validate the cluster.
  kops rolling-update cluster k8s-cluster.example.com --yes \
  --fail-on-validate-error="false" \
  --master-interval=8m \
  --node-interval=8m

  # Roll the k8s-cluster.example.com kops cluster,
  # do not validate the cluster because of the cloudonly flag.
  # Force the entire cluster to roll, even if rolling update
  # reports that the cluster does not need to be rolled.
  kops rolling-update cluster k8s-cluster.example.com --yes \
  --cloudonly \
  --force

  # Roll the k8s-cluster.example.com kops cluster,
  # only roll the node instancegroup,
  # use the new drain and validate functionality.
  kops rolling-update cluster k8s-cluster.example.com --yes \
  --fail-on-validate-error="false" \
  --node-interval 8m \
  --instance-group nodes

      --alsologtostderr                  log to standard error as well as files
      --config string                    yaml config file (default is $HOME/.kops.yaml)

      --skip_headers                     If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
      --skip_log_headers                 If true, avoid headers when opening log files
      --state string                     Location of state storage (kops 'config' file). Overrides KOPS_STATE_STORE environment variable
      --stderrthreshold severity         logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
  -v, --v Level                          number for the log level verbosity
      --vmodule moduleSpec               comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
