Upgrading Kubernetes
Constellation is a Kubernetes distribution. As such, dependencies on Kubernetes versions exist in multiple places:
- The desired Kubernetes version deployed by
kubeadm init
- Kubernetes resources (deployments made while initializing Kubernetes, including the
cloud-controller-manager
,cluster-autoscaler
and more) - Kubernetes go dependencies for the bootstrapper code
Understand what has changed
Before adding support for a new Kubernetes version, it is a very good idea to read the release notes and to identify breaking changes.
Upgrading Kubernetes resources
Everything related to Kubernetes versions is tracked in the versions file. Add a new ValidK8sVersion
and fill out the VersionConfigs
entry for that version.
During cluster initialization, multiple Kubernetes resources are deployed. Some of these should be upgraded with Kubernetes.
You can check available version tags for container images using the container registry tags API:
curl -qL https://registry.k8s.io/v2/autoscaling/cluster-autoscaler/tags/list | jq .tags
curl -qL https://registry.k8s.io/v2/cloud-controller-manager/tags/list | jq .tags
curl -qL https://registry.k8s.io/v2/provider-aws/cloud-controller-manager/tags/list | jq .tags
curl -qL https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/oss/kubernetes/azure-cloud-controller-manager/tags/list | jq .tags
curl -qL https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/oss/kubernetes/azure-cloud-node-manager/tags/list | jq .tags
# [...]
Normally renovate will handle the upgrading of Kubernetes dependencies.
Test the new Kubernetes version
-
Setup a Constellation cluster using the new image with the new bootstrapper binary and check if Kubernetes is deployed successfully.
# should print the new k8s version for every node kubectl get nodes -o wide # read the logs for pods deployed in the kube-system namespace and ensure they are healthy kubectl -n kube-system get pods kubectl -n kube-system logs [...] kubectl -n kube-system describe pods
-
Read the logs of the main Kubernetes components by getting a shell on the nodes and scan for errors / deprecation warnings:
journalctl -u kubelet journalctl -u containerd
-
