Upgrading a CRD API Version

API version of a CRD provides some guarantees about its stability and amount of interventions you can expect during upgrades. Crossplane strictly follows the conventions Kubernetes sets forth here.

The actions needed to be taken depends on whether the upgrade includes a breaking schema change and from what level it is upgrading from and to, i.e. alpha/beta etc.

Upgrade from alpha to beta

From alpha to beta, breaking changes can be made without early notice. However, we do include a warning in release notes and provide instructions on how to migrate from one to the other manually.

Step to upgrade from v1alpha1 to v1beta1:

  • Create a new folder called v1beta1 in apis/<group name> and copy the following files from existing v1alpha1 folder:
    • register.go: Replace all v1alpha1 occurrences with v1beta1.
  • Copy the Go type into v1beta1 package.
    • Add // +kubebuilder:storageversion comment to the type comments.
  • Delete all files in v1alpha1 and v1beta1 packages starting with zz_ and run make generate so that functions that satisfy certain interfaces are generated for the new types.
    • If there are functions in those packages assuming the structs implement those interfaces, such as old reference resolvers, you'll need to comment them out for code generation to succeed and bring them back once it's completed.
  • Add the new API package to apis/aws.go type registration list.
  • Make sure the controller in pkg/controller/<group name>/<kind name>/controller.go uses the new struct from v1beta1 package.
  • Make sure the client functions in pkg/clients/<group name>/<kind name>.go uses the new struct from v1beta1 package.
  • The old Go type should not be used in anywhere, like controller, or reference resolver of another type. Its sole usage should be registration in apis/aws.go
  • Deprecate the old type in v1alpha1 package by adding the following comments to both <Kind> and <Kind>List structs with a little bit of detail about what they should do:
    • // +kubebuilder:deprecatedversion:warning="Please use v1beta1 version of this resource that has identical schema."
    • // Deprecated: Please use v1beta1 version of this resource.
  • Run make reviewable and see if the corresponding CRD is updated in package/crds folder.
  • Update the example in examples/<group name>/<kind>.yaml to have v1beta1.
