Upgrading Kubernetes

Upgrading Kubernetes is easy with kops. The cluster spec contains a KubernetesVersion, so you can simply edit it with kops edit, and apply the updated configuration to your cluster. The kops upgrade command also automates checking for and applying updates.

Note: if you want to upgrade from a kube-up installation, please see the instructions for how to upgrade kubernetes installed with kube-up.

Manual update

  • kops edit cluster $NAME
  • set the KubernetesVersion to the target version (e.g. v1.3.5)
  • kops update cluster $NAME to preview, then kops update cluster $NAME --yes
  • kops rolling-update cluster $NAME to preview, then kops rolling-update cluster $NAME --yes

Automated update

  • kops upgrade cluster $NAME to preview, then kops upgrade cluster $NAME --yes

In future the upgrade step will likely perform the update immediately (and possibly even without a node restart), but currently you must:

  • kops update cluster $NAME to preview, then kops update cluster $NAME --yes
  • kops rolling-update cluster $NAME to preview, then kops rolling-update cluster $NAME --yes

Upgrade uses the latest Kubernetes version considered stable by kops, defined in https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/channels/stable.
