Upgrading a Kubeflow Deployment

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 kustomize manifests:

2. We recommend checking your local packages into source control to back it up before proceeding.

3. Use kfctl to download the desired version of Kubeflow. For example:

   export KUBEFLOW_VERSION=v0.6.2
   export KFAPP="<the name of your Kubeflow application directory>"
   kfctl init ${KFAPP} --version=${KUBEFLOW_VERSION} --package-manager=kustomize@${KUBEFLOW_VERSION}
   

   Note that this will overwrite your previous manifest files.

4. Update the actual deployment:

   cd ${KFAPP}
   kfctl generate all -V --zone ${ZONE}
   kfctl apply -V all
   

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.
