Upgrading kubeadm clusters from v1.11 to v1.12 templates/task

{{% capture overview %}}

This page explains how to upgrade a Kubernetes cluster created with kubeadm from version 1.11.x to version 1.12.x, and from version 1.12.x to 1.12.y, where y > x.

{{% /capture %}}

{{% capture prerequisites %}}

  • You need to have a kubeadm Kubernetes cluster running version 1.11.0 or later. Swap must be disabled. The cluster should use a static control plane and etcd pods.
  • Make sure you read the release notes carefully.
  • Make sure to back up any important components, such as app-level state stored in a database. kubeadm upgrade does not touch your workloads, only components internal to Kubernetes, but backups are always a best practice.

Additional information

  • All containers are restarted after upgrade, because the container spec hash value is changed.
  • You can upgrade only from one minor version to the next minor version. That is, you cannot skip versions when you upgrade. For example, you can upgrade only from 1.10 to 1.11, not from 1.9 to 1.11.

Upgrade the control plane

  1. On your master node, upgrade kubeadm:

    {{< tabs name="k8s_install" >}} {{% tab name="Ubuntu, Debian or HypriotOS" %}}

    replace "x" with the latest patch version

    apt-mark unhold kubeadm &&
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y kubeadm=1.12.x-00 &&
    apt-mark hold kubeadm {{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="CentOS, RHEL or Fedora" %}}

    replace "x" with the latest patch version

    yum upgrade -y kubeadm-1.12.x --disableexcludes=kubernetes {{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}

  2. Verify that the download works and has the expected version:

    kubeadm version

  3. On the master node, run:

    kubeadm upgrade plan

    You should see output similar to this:

    [preflight] Running pre-flight checks.
[upgrade] Making sure the cluster is healthy:
[upgrade/config] Making sure the configuration is correct:
[upgrade/config] Reading configuration from the cluster...
[upgrade/config] FYI: You can look at this config file with 'kubectl -n kube-system get cm kubeadm-config -oyaml'
[upgrade] Fetching available versions to upgrade to
[upgrade/versions] Cluster version: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] kubeadm version: v1.12.0
[upgrade/versions] Latest stable version: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] Latest version in the v1.11 series: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] Latest experimental version: v1.13.0-alpha.0

Components that must be upgraded manually after you have upgraded the control plane with 'kubeadm upgrade apply':
COMPONENT   CURRENT       AVAILABLE
Kubelet     2 x v1.11.1   v1.12.0
            1 x v1.11.3   v1.12.0

Upgrade to the latest experimental version:

COMPONENT            CURRENT   AVAILABLE
API Server           v1.11.3   v1.12.0
Controller Manager   v1.11.3   v1.12.0
Scheduler            v1.11.3   v1.12.0
Kube Proxy           v1.11.3   v1.12.0
CoreDNS              1.1.3     1.2.2
Etcd                 3.2.18    3.2.24

You can now apply the upgrade by executing the following command:

    kubeadm upgrade apply v1.12.0 

_____________________________________________________________________

    This command checks that your cluster can be upgraded, and fetches the versions you can upgrade to.

  4. Choose a version to upgrade to, and run the appropriate command. For example:

    kubeadm upgrade apply v1.12.0

    You should see output similar to this:

    [preflight] Running pre-flight checks.
[upgrade] Making sure the cluster is healthy:
[upgrade/config] Making sure the configuration is correct:
[upgrade/config] Reading configuration from the cluster...
[upgrade/config] FYI: You can look at this config file with 'kubectl -n kube-system get cm kubeadm-config -oyaml'
[upgrade/apply] Respecting the --cri-socket flag that is set with higher priority than the config file.
[upgrade/version] You have chosen to change the cluster version to "v1.12.0"
[upgrade/versions] Cluster version: v1.11.3
[upgrade/versions] kubeadm version: v1.12.0

[upgrade/successful] SUCCESS! Your cluster was upgraded to "v1.12.0". Enjoy!

[upgrade/kubelet] Now that your control plane is upgraded, please proceed with upgrading your kubelets if you haven't already done so.

  5. Manually upgrade your Software Defined Network (SDN).

    Your Container Network Interface (CNI) provider may have its own upgrade instructions to follow. Check the addons page to find your CNI provider and see whether additional upgrade steps are required.

Upgrade master and node packages

  1. Prepare each node for maintenance, marking it unschedulable and evicting the workloads:

    kubectl drain $NODE --ignore-daemonsets

    On the master node, you must add --ignore-daemonsets:

    kubectl drain ip-172-31-85-18
node "ip-172-31-85-18" cordoned
error: unable to drain node "ip-172-31-85-18", aborting command...

There are pending nodes to be drained:
ip-172-31-85-18
error: DaemonSet-managed pods (use --ignore-daemonsets to ignore): calico-node-5798d, kube-proxy-thjp9

    kubectl drain ip-172-31-85-18 --ignore-daemonsets
node "ip-172-31-85-18" already cordoned
WARNING: Ignoring DaemonSet-managed pods: calico-node-5798d, kube-proxy-thjp9
node "ip-172-31-85-18" drained

  2. Upgrade the Kubernetes package version on each $NODE node by running the Linux package manager for your distribution:

    {{< tabs name="k8s_upgrade" >}} {{% tab name="Ubuntu, Debian or HypriotOS" %}}

    replace "x" with the latest patch version

    apt-get update apt-get upgrade -y kubelet=1.12.x-00 kubeadm=1.12.x-00 {{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="CentOS, RHEL or Fedora" %}}

    replace "x" with the latest patch version

    yum upgrade -y kubelet-1.12.x kubeadm-1.12.x --disableexcludes=kubernetes {{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}

Upgrade kubelet on each node

  1. On each node except the master node, upgrade the kubelet config:

    sudo kubeadm upgrade node config --kubelet-version $(kubelet --version | cut -d ' ' -f 2)

  2. Restart the kubelet process:

    sudo systemctl restart kubelet

  3. Verify that the new version of the kubelet is running on the node:

    systemctl status kubelet

  4. Bring the node back online by marking it schedulable:

    kubectl uncordon $NODE

  5. After the kubelet is upgraded on all nodes, verify that all nodes are available again by running the following command from anywhere kubectl can access the cluster:

    kubectl get nodes

    The STATUS column should show Ready for all your nodes, and the version number should be updated.

{{% /capture %}}

Recovering from a failure state

If kubeadm upgrade fails and does not roll back, for example because of an unexpected shutdown during execution, you can run kubeadm upgrade again. This command is idempotent and eventually makes sure that the actual state is the desired state you declare.

To recover from a bad state, you can also run kubeadm upgrade --force without changing the version that your cluster is running.

How it works

kubeadm upgrade apply does the following:

  • Checks that your cluster is in an upgradeable state:
    • The API server is reachable
    • All nodes are in the Ready state
    • The control plane is healthy
  • Enforces the version skew policies.
  • Makes sure the control plane images are available or available to pull to the machine.
  • Upgrades the control plane components or rollbacks if any of them fails to come up.
  • Applies the new kube-dns and kube-proxy manifests and enforces that all necessary RBAC rules are created.
  • Creates new certificate and key files of the API server and backs up old files if they're about to expire in 180 days.
