Challenge

Prerequisites:

1. k8s version 1.16+ is installed

2. Helm version 3 is installed

3. Hivemq k8s operator repo is already added

Expected Result:

Here we will show the necessary steps for a zero-downtime upgrade of both the HiveMQ k8s operator as well as HiveMQ itself.

Upgrade hivemq version without downtime. Hivemq version 4.6.4 should be running without error using k8s operator version 0.9.2

Steps to follow:

Hivemq cluster values file:

...

monitoring:
  enabled: true
operator:
  admissionWebhooks:
    enabled: false
    failurePolicy: Fail
  deployCr: false
  logLevel: DEBUG

1. Deploy Hivemq operator with 0.8.7

   Code Block
   language bash
   helm upgrade --version 0.8.7 --install -f operator.yaml <release name> hivemq/hivemq-operator

2. Apply Hivemq cluster with hivemq 4.6.2
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   kubectl apply -f <hivemq cluster.yaml>

3. Simply apply the new CRD using the following command (considering k8s version is 1.16+)
   Note: This step can be skipped if you are using BladeCenter.

   Code Block
   language bash
   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hivemq/helm-charts/prerelease-4.6.4/charts/hivemq-operator/crds/hivemq-cluster.yaml

4. Scale operator to 0 so it doesn’t immediately reconcile. This will only remove the operator pod, but leave the HiveMQ nodes as remaining

   Code Block
   kubectl scale —replicas=0 deployment <operator name>

5. Edit hivemq cluster yaml to update the hivemq version as 4.6.4

6. Apply the changes

   Code Block
   Kubectl apply -f <hivemq cluster.yaml>

7. check the pods status(no errors)

   Code Block
   kubectl get pods

8. Update operator version i.e 0.9.2 in cluster(operator config File)

9. Run the following command for rolling upgrade
   

   Code Block
   helm upgrade --version 0.9.2 --install -f operator.yaml <release name> hivemq/hivemq-operator
