Upgrade

Step 1. Update Helm repo

You can explore the newly released chart versions of KubeVela by run:

helm repo update
helm search repo kubevela/vela-core -l

Step 2. Upgrade KubeVela CRDs

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_componentdefinitions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_workloaddefinitions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_traitdefinitions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_applications.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_approllouts.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_applicationrevisions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_scopedefinitions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_appdeployments.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_applicationcontexts.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_definitionrevisions.yaml

Tips: If you see errors like * is invalid: spec.scope: Invalid value: "Namespaced": filed is immutable. Please delete the CRD which reports error and re-apply the kubevela crds.

 kubectl delete crd \
  scopedefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  traitdefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  workloaddefinitions.core.oam.dev

Step 3. Upgrade KubeVela Helm chart

helm upgrade --install --create-namespace --namespace vela-system  kubevela kubevela/vela-core --version <the_new_version>

Clean Up

Run:

helm uninstall -n vela-system kubevela
rm -r ~/.vela

This will uninstall KubeVela server component and its dependency components. This also cleans up local CLI cache.

Then clean up CRDs (CRDs are not removed via helm by default):

 kubectl delete crd \
  appdeployments.core.oam.dev \
  applicationconfigurations.core.oam.dev \
  applicationcontexts.core.oam.dev \
  applicationrevisions.core.oam.dev \
  applications.core.oam.dev \
  approllouts.core.oam.dev \
  componentdefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  components.core.oam.dev \
  containerizedworkloads.core.oam.dev \
  healthscopes.core.oam.dev \
  manualscalertraits.core.oam.dev \
  podspecworkloads.standard.oam.dev \
  scopedefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  traitdefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  workloaddefinitions.core.oam.dev \
  definitionrevisions.core.oam.dev
