Upgrade of Scylla Operator

This pages describes Scylla Operator upgrade procedures.

v0.3.0 -> v1.0.0

Note: There’s an experimental migration procedure available here.

v0.3.0 used a very common name as a CRD kind (Cluster). In v1.0.0 this issue was solved by using less common kind which is easier to disambiguate. (ScyllaCluster). This change is backward incompatible, so Scylla cluster must be turned off and recreated from scratch. In case you need to preserve your data, refer to backup and restore guide.

  1. Get list of existing Scylla clusters

    kubectl -n scylla get cluster.scylla.scylladb.com

NAME             AGE
simple-cluster   30m

  2. Delete each one of them

    kubectl -n scylla delete cluster.scylla.scylladb.com simple-cluster

  3. Make sure you’re on v0.3.0 branch

    git checkout v0.3.0

  4. Delete existing CRD and Operator

    kubectl delete -f examples/generic/operator.yaml

  5. Checkout v1.0.0 version

    git checkout v1.0.0

  6. Install new CRD and Scylla Operator

    kubectl apply -f examples/common/operator.yaml

  7. Migrate your existing Scylla Cluster definition. Change apiVersion and kind from:

    apiVersion: scylla.scylladb.com/v1alpha1
kind: Cluster

    to:

    apiVersion: scylla.scylladb.com/v1
kind: ScyllaCluster

  8. Once your cluster definition is ready, use kubectl apply to install fresh Scylla cluster.
