How to upgrade from old version?

Refer to the docs( https://kubevela.net/docs/platform-engineers/system-operation/migration-from-old-version ) if you're migrating from older versions.

Upgrade by using Vela CLI

The install command will also handle the upgrade automatically：

curl -fsSl https://kubevela.io/script/install.sh | bash -s 1.7.0-beta.1
vela install -v 1.7.0-beta.1 -r

Upgrade by using Helm

⚠️ Please upgrade the CRD first if you're upgrading to this release.

1. Upgrade the CRDs, please make sure you upgrade the CRDs first before upgrade the helm chart.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/release-1.7/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_applicationrevisions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/release-1.7/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_applications.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/release-1.7/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_resourcetrackers.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/release-1.7/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_componentdefinitions.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/release-1.7/charts/vela-core/crds/core.oam.dev_definitionrevisions.yaml

2. Upgrade your kubevela chart

Since we have migrated some workflowstep definitions and views from workflow addon to KubeVela core repo, so it may cause the following error if you upgrade:

Error: Could not install KubeVela control plane installation: error when installing/upgrading Helm Chart kubevela in namespace vela-system: rendered manifests contain a resource that already exists. Unable to continue with update: WorkflowStepDefinition "apply-deployment" in namespace "vela-system" exists and cannot be imported into the current release: invalid ownership metadata; label validation error: missing key "app.kubernetes.io/managed-by": must be set to "Helm"; annotation validation error: missing key "meta.helm.sh/release-name": must be set to "kubevela"; annotation validation error: missing key "meta.helm.sh/release-namespace": must be set to "vela-system"

You can execute this script to solve it before upgrade helm chart:

curl -fsSl https://kubevela.net/script/checklegacy.sh | bash

The script will just help patch helm annotations for you, you can also do that manually one by one like:

kubectl patch -n vela-system workflowstepdefinition <item> --type=merge -p '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"meta.helm.sh/release-name":"kubevela","meta.helm.sh/release-namespace":"vela-system"},"labels":{"app.kubernetes.io/managed-by":"Helm"}}}'
kubectl patch -n vela-system configMap <item> --type=merge -p '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"meta.helm.sh/release-name":"kubevela","meta.helm.sh/release-namespace":"vela-system"},"labels":{"app.kubernetes.io/managed-by":"Helm"}}}'

Then you can upgrade the helm chart now:

helm repo add kubevela https://charts.kubevela.net/core
helm repo update
helm upgrade -n vela-system --install kubevela kubevela/vela-core --version 1.7.0-beta.1 --wait

3. Download the new CLI and enable velaux

curl -fsSl https://kubevela.io/script/install.sh | bash -s 1.7.0-beta.1
vela addon enable velaux

Upgrade VelaUX

vela addon upgrade velaux --version=v1.7.0-beta.1
