Application Upgrades

Upgrade catalog applications

Before upgrading your catalog applications, verify the current and supported versions of the application. Also, keep in mind the distinction between Platform applications and Catalog applications. Platform applications are deployed and upgraded as a set for each cluster or workspace. Catalog applications are deployed separately, so that you can deploy and upgrade them individually for each project.

NOTE: Catalog applications must be upgraded to the latest version BEFORE upgrading the Kubernetes version (or Konvoy version for managed Konvoy clusters) on attached clusters, due to the previous versions' incompatibility with Kubernetes 1.22.

Upgrade with UI

Follow these steps to upgrade an application from the DKP UI:

1. From the top menu bar, select your target workspace.

2. Select Applications from the sidebar menu.

3. Select the three dot button from the bottom-right corner of the desired application tile, and then select Edit.

4. Select the Version drop-down, and select a new version. This drop-down will only be available if there is a newer version to upgrade to.

5. Select Save.

Upgrade with CLI

dkp upgrade catalogapp <appdeployment-name> --workspace=my-workspace --to-version=<version.number>

For example, the following command upgrades the Kafka Operator application, named kafka-operator-abc, in a workspace to version 0.20.2:

dkp upgrade catalogapp kafka-operator-abc --workspace=my-workspace --to-version=0.20.2

NOTE: Platform applications cannot be upgraded on a one-off basis, and must be upgraded in a single process for each workspace. If you attempt to upgrade a platform application with these commands, you receive an error and the application is not upgraded.
