We are bringing the best of Tectonic to Red Hat OpenShift to build the most secure, hybrid Kubernetes application platform.
This document describes how to upgrade an HA-enabled Vault cluster. Vault operator simulates the suggested upgrade process as recommended in the official Vault documentation for Upgrading Vault HA Installations.
Create the following Vault CR to use as the basis for the upgrade:
apiVersion: "vault.security.coreos.com/v1alpha1"
kind: "VaultService"
metadata:
name: "example"
spec:
nodes: 2
version: "0.8.3-0"
After the Vault cluster is deployed and unsealed, there will be one active and one standby node.
Use kubectl
to upgrade to Vault 0.9.0-0
:
kubectl -n default get vault example -o yaml | sed 's/version: 0.8.3-0/version: 0.9.0-0/g' | kubectl apply -f -
Vault-operator will upgrade all nodes except the active node to keep service availability. After upgrade, 2 Vault nodes of the target version and 1 active node of the old version will exist.
After all upgraded nodes are unsealed, vault-operator will enforce the old version active node to step down and exit gracefully. One of the two new version standby nodes will take over and become active.
