Alauda Container Platform Data Services Essentials are designed to upgrade automatically during platform upgrades, requiring no manual intervention. The system handles all necessary migrations and updates seamlessly in the background.
Alauda Container Platform Data Services RDS Framework will execute upgrades based on the configured upgrade strategy:
When upgrading ACP from v3 to v4, it is recommended to promptly upgrade both the global cluster and workload clusters to the new version to ensure proper display of Data Services view.
If only the global cluster is upgraded to v4 while workload clusters remain on v3, please contact the technical team during this period to obtain mitigation steps for view display issues in unupgraded workload clusters.
For upgrades from versions 3.16.x or 3.18.x to 4.0.5 with Application Services installed, the manual steps outlined in this section are required for both global and workload cluster upgrades. Integrate these additional steps into your standard upgrade procedure.
Before uploading images, set all dataservices operators to manual approval mode. Run the following script on the cluster that is being upgraded:
Note: For global cluster upgrades, run this script on the global cluster. For workload cluster upgrades, run this script on the workload cluster.
Follow the standard platform upgrade procedure for uploading images and triggering the upgrade.
Before upgrading the global cluster, use violet to upload all the Alauda Application Services 4.0.5 plugin packages.
Upgrade the global cluster.
After upgrading the global cluster, manually deploy Alauda Container Platform Data Services Essentials.
Note for 3.18.x upgrades: Additionally, you must manually approve the PostgreSQL new version in the operator hub.
