Upgrading Kubeflow Deployments

Until version 1.0 Kubeflow makes no promises of backwards compatibility or upgradeability. Nonetheless, here are some instructions for updating your deployments.

Upgrading Kubeflow

Updating your deployment is a two step process:

1. Update your ksonnet application:

   1. We recommend checking your app into source control to back it up before proceeding.
   2. Use the script upgrade_ks_app.py to update your ksonnet app with the current version for the Kubeflow packages.

   Note: ksonnet is working on support for this capability. See https://github.com/ksonnet/ksonnet/issues/237

2. Update the actual deployment:

   1. Delete TFJobs v1alpha1 because Kubernetes can’t deploy multiple versions of a CRD:

      kubectl delete crd tfjobs.kubeflow.org
      

   2. Redeploy Kubeflow:

      ks apply ${ENVIRONMENT} -c ${COMPONENT}
      

Upgrading or reinstalling Kubeflow Pipelines

Read the Kubeflow Pipelines upgrade guide to make use of the following capabilities:

• Upgrade: You can upgrade your Kubeflow Pipelines deployment to a later version without deleting and recreating the cluster.
• Reinstall: You can delete a cluster and create a new cluster, specifying the storage to retrieve the original data in the new cluster.
