Hi,
Pretty new to Istio right here.
May i know if there Is a quick an easy way to upgrade from Istio 1.5.x to 1.6.1?
I believe running istioctl ugpade (from 1.5.x) is not possible if i wanna get into version 1.6 and beyond.
I wouldn’t mind removing, 1.5.x from my cluster, so is there a clean and elegant way for me to remove istio completely from my cluster? Didn’t manage to find any information from the docs…
Hi @robincher
it is possible to to upgrade the istio1.5.x to 1.6.1
see the upgrade notes:
to uninstall the istioctl
May be this will help you
Hi Shubham, Thanks!
The upgrade part i check out, and tried, but seems like i am unable to upgrade directly to 1.60 based on existing profile dump.
I will try reinstalling again with your second link.
Hi
It is working. Which upgade method you try In-Place upgrade or canary upgrade?
Before upgrade (in-place) you have to change the istioctl version(the one you want to install). through which you would create the config using profile dump. and the apply istioctl upgrade -f <demo.yaml> or for default istioctl upgrade.
may be there is a problem in istioctl version.(download the istio you want upgrade to and then change directory for istioctl version)
may be this will help you.
Hi Shubham,
Thanks for the advice. Today i learnt more about how to use istioctl properly. Previously i was still on Istioctl 1.5.4 which was set by default on my $PATH.
All fixed for this question.
