Upgrading a Kubeflow Deployment

Upgrading your deployment to a later version of Kubeflow

Until version 1.0 Kubeflow makes no promises of backwards compatibility orupgradeability. Nonetheless, here are some instructions for updating yourdeployments.

Upgrading Kubeflow

Updating your deployment is a two step process:

• Update your kustomize manifests:

  • We recommend checking your local packages into source control to back it up beforeproceeding.
  • Use kfctl to download the desired version of Kubeflow. For example:

   export KUBEFLOW_VERSION=v0.6.2
   export KFAPP="<the name of your Kubeflow application directory>"
   kfctl init ${KFAPP} --version=${KUBEFLOW_VERSION} --package-manager=kustomize@${KUBEFLOW_VERSION}

Note that this will overwrite your previous manifest files.

• Update the actual deployment:

 cd ${KFAPP}
 kfctl generate all -V --zone ${ZONE}
 kfctl apply -V all
