Upgrade path​

From this version, we are introducing the new versioning system, see the versioning documentation file to know more about the new versioning scheme of the distribution and the upgrade path.

Katalog Procedure​

⚠️: You can upgrade to this version only from a KFD v1.7.x cluster on top of a 1.21.x Kubernetes cluster due to Calico incompatibilities with Kubernetes v1.20.x.

To upgrade the distribution from v1.7.x to v1.21.0, you need to download this new version, vendor the dependencies, finally applying the kustomize project.

furyctl vendor -H
kustomize build . | kubectl apply -f -

NOTE: The upgrade takes some minutes (depends on the cluster size), and you should expect some downtime during the upgrade process.
