| title: Upgrading Kubernetes
 | |
| ---
 | |
| 
 | |
| This guide covers Kubernetes control plane upgrade for clusters running Talos-managed control plane.
 | |
| If the cluster is still running self-hosted control plane (after upgrade from Talos 0.8), please
 | |
| refer to 0.8 docs.
 | |
| 
 | |

| 
 | |
| ## Automated Kubernetes Upgrade
 | |
| 
 | |
| To upgrade from Kubernetes v1.20.1 to v1.20.4 run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl --nodes <master node> upgrade-k8s --from 1.20.1 --to 1.20.4
 | |
| discovered master nodes ["172.20.0.2" "172.20.0.3" "172.20.0.4"]
 | |
| updating "kube-apiserver" to version "1.20.4"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.2"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:55:01 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.3"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:55:05 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.4"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:55:07 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
| updating "kube-controller-manager" to version "1.20.4"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.2"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:55:27 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.3"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:55:47 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.4"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:56:07 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
| updating "kube-scheduler" to version "1.20.4"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.2"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:56:27 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.3"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:56:47 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
|  > updating node "172.20.0.4"
 | |
| 2021/03/09 19:57:08 retrying error: config version mismatch: got "2", expected "3"
 | |
| updating daemonset "kube-proxy" to version "1.20.4"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Script runs in two phases:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. In the first phase every control plane node machine configuration is patched with new image version for each control plane component.
 | |
|    Talos renders new static pod definition on configuration update which is picked up by the kubelet.
 | |
|    Script waits for the change to propagate to the API server state.
 | |
|    Messages `config version mismatch` indicate that script is waiting for the updated container to be registered in the API server.
 | |
| 2. In the second phase script updates `kube-proxy` daemonset with the new image version.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If script fails for any reason, it can be safely restarted to continue upgrade process.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Manual Kubernetes Upgrade
 | |
| 
 | |
| Kubernetes can be upgraded manually as well by following the steps outlined below.
 | |
| They are equivalent to the steps performed by the `talosctl upgrade-k8s` command.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Kubeconfig
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to edit the control plane, we will need a working `kubectl` config.
 | |
| If you don't already have one, you can get one by running:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| talosctl --nodes <master node> kubeconfig
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### API Server
 | |
| 
 | |
| Patch machine configuration using `talosctl patch` command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> patch mc --immediate -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/cluster/apiServer/image", "value": "k8s.gcr.io/kube-apiserver:v1.20.4"}]'
 | |
| patched mc at the node 172.20.0.2
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| JSON patch might need to be adjusted if current machine configuration is missing `.cluster.apiServer.image` key.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also machine configuration can be edited manually with `talosctl -n <IP>  edit mc --immediate`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Capture new version of `kube-apiserver` config with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> get kcpc kube-apiserver -o yaml
 | |
| node: 172.20.0.2
 | |
| metadata:
 | |
|     namespace: config
 | |
|     type: KubernetesControlPlaneConfigs.config.talos.dev
 | |
|     id: kube-apiserver
 | |
|     version: 5
 | |
|     phase: running
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|     image: k8s.gcr.io/kube-apiserver:v1.20.4
 | |
|     cloudProvider: ""
 | |
|     controlPlaneEndpoint: https://172.20.0.1:6443
 | |
|     etcdServers:
 | |
|         - https://127.0.0.1:2379
 | |
|     localPort: 6443
 | |
|     serviceCIDR: 10.96.0.0/12
 | |
|     extraArgs: {}
 | |
|     extraVolumes: []
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this example, new version is `5`.
 | |
| Wait for the new pod definition to propagate to the API server state (replace `talos-default-master-1` with the node name):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-apiserver --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.annotations.talos\.dev/config\-version}'
 | |
| 5
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Check that the pod is running:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-apiserver --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1
 | |
| NAME                                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
 | |
| kube-apiserver-talos-default-master-1   1/1     Running   0          16m
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Repeat this process for every control plane node, verifying that state got propagated successfully between each node update.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Controller Manager
 | |
| 
 | |
| Patch machine configuration using `talosctl patch` command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> patch mc --immediate -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/cluster/controllerManager/image", "value": "k8s.gcr.io/kube-controller-manager:v1.20.4"}]'
 | |
| patched mc at the node 172.20.0.2
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| JSON patch might need be adjusted if current machine configuration is missing `.cluster.controllerManager.image` key.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Capture new version of `kube-controller-manager` config with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> get kcpc kube-controller-manager -o yaml
 | |
| node: 172.20.0.2
 | |
| metadata:
 | |
|     namespace: config
 | |
|     type: KubernetesControlPlaneConfigs.config.talos.dev
 | |
|     id: kube-controller-manager
 | |
|     version: 3
 | |
|     phase: running
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|     image: k8s.gcr.io/kube-controller-manager:v1.20.4
 | |
|     cloudProvider: ""
 | |
|     podCIDR: 10.244.0.0/16
 | |
|     serviceCIDR: 10.96.0.0/12
 | |
|     extraArgs: {}
 | |
|     extraVolumes: []
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this example, new version is `3`.
 | |
| Wait for the new pod definition to propagate to the API server state (replace `talos-default-master-1` with the node name):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-controller-manager --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.annotations.talos\.dev/config\-version}'
 | |
| 3
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Check that the pod is running:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-controller-manager --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1
 | |
| NAME                                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
 | |
| kube-controller-manager-talos-default-master-1   1/1     Running   0          35m
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Repeat this process for every control plane node, verifying that state got propagated successfully between each node update.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Scheduler
 | |
| 
 | |
| Patch machine configuration using `talosctl patch` command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> patch mc --immediate -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/cluster/scheduler/image", "value": "k8s.gcr.io/kube-scheduler:v1.20.4"}]'
 | |
| patched mc at the node 172.20.0.2
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| JSON patch might need be adjusted if current machine configuration is missing `.cluster.scheduler.image` key.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Capture new version of `kube-scheduler` config with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <CONTROL_PLANE_IP_1> get kcpc kube-scheduler -o yaml
 | |
| node: 172.20.0.2
 | |
| metadata:
 | |
|     namespace: config
 | |
|     type: KubernetesControlPlaneConfigs.config.talos.dev
 | |
|     id: kube-scheduler
 | |
|     version: 3
 | |
|     phase: running
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|     image: k8s.gcr.io/kube-scheduler:v1.20.4
 | |
|     extraArgs: {}
 | |
|     extraVolumes: []
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this example, new version is `3`.
 | |
| Wait for the new pod definition to propagate to the API server state (replace `talos-default-master-1` with the node name):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-scheduler --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.annotations.talos\.dev/config\-version}'
 | |
| 3
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Check that the pod is running:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get pod -n kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-scheduler --field-selector spec.nodeName=talos-default-master-1
 | |
| NAME                                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
 | |
| kube-scheduler-talos-default-master-1   1/1     Running   0          39m
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Repeat this process for every control plane node, verifying that state got propagated successfully between each node update.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Proxy
 | |
| 
 | |
| In the proxy's `DaemonSet`, change:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml
 | |
| kind: DaemonSet
 | |
| ...
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|   ...
 | |
|   template:
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     spec:
 | |
|       containers:
 | |
|         - name: kube-proxy
 | |
|           image: k8s.gcr.io/kube-proxy:v1.20.1
 | |
|       tolerations:
 | |
|         - ...
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| to:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml
 | |
| kind: DaemonSet
 | |
| ...
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|   ...
 | |
|   template:
 | |
|     ...
 | |
|     spec:
 | |
|       containers:
 | |
|         - name: kube-proxy
 | |
|           image: k8s.gcr.io/kube-proxy:v1.20.4
 | |
|       tolerations:
 | |
|         - ...
 | |
|         - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane
 | |
|           operator: Exists
 | |
|           effect: NoSchedule
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To edit the `DaemonSet`, run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| kubectl edit daemonsets -n kube-system kube-proxy
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Kubelet
 | |
| 
 | |
| Upgrading Kubelet version requires Talos node reboot after machine configuration change.
 | |
| 
 | |
| For every node, patch machine configuration with new kubelet version, wait for the node to reboot:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ talosctl -n <IP> patch mc -p '[{"op": "replace", "path": "/machine/kubelet/image", "value": "ghcr.io/talos-systems/kubelet:v1.20.4"}]'
 | |
| patched mc at the node 172.20.0.2
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once node boots with the new configuration, confirm upgrade with `kubectl get nodes <name>`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| $ kubectl get nodes talos-default-master-1
 | |
| NAME                     STATUS   ROLES                  AGE    VERSION
 | |
| talos-default-master-1   Ready    control-plane,master   123m   v1.20.4
 | |
| ```
 |
