1.9.0+ Upgrade Notice
Follow these steps to upgrade your Gloo Edge or Gloo Edge Enterprise deployments to version 1.9 from version 1.8. If your Gloo Edge deployment runs a version older than 1.8, make sure to upgrade to 1.8 before upgrading to 1.9.
This upgrade guide assumes that you installed Gloo Edge with Helm or glooctl. You can verify this installation by checking for a Helm chart release named gloo in the output of helm ls --all-namespaces.
For steps to avoid downtime during upgrades, check out the Recommended settings.
CRD field updates
Any new fields added to our CRDs (e.g. added between 1.8.0 -> 1.9.0) need to be added to our validation schemas.
To apply the new CRDs:
helm pull gloo/gloo --version $GLOO_VERSION --untar #e.g. GLOO_VERSION=1.9.0
kubectl apply -f gloo/crds
To support Kubernetes 1.22, Gloo Edge CRDs are now written with the v1 rather than the v1beta1 API. CRDs that persisted as v1beta1 are converted to the new v1 API when read in Kubernetes 1.22.
