Create dedicated documentation page on upgrade procedures #773

Description

@lfrancke

Our documentation should contain a dedicated page on our possible upgrade scenarios.

Upgrades of the platform can be done in multiple steps:

  • Optional: Set reconciliationPaused to true for some or all of your products
  • Update CRDs
  • Update Operators
  • Optional: Set reconciliationPaused to false

Then we also have the product updates

  • Upgrade productVersion

There are a few extra things we should document or take into consideration:

  • Extra steps/caution needed when using custom images
  • Document that (and why) pods will restart after an operator upgrade
  • Document the fact that Helm can't manage CRDs: https://helm.sh/docs/chart_best_practices/custom_resource_definitions/
  • Document OpenShift upgrade procedure
  • Hint at platform release notes
  • Hint at always having to check the release notes of the underlying products
