Upgrading to 1.2

This guide covers upgrading a KDP installation from 1.1 to 1.2.0.

Upgrading from 1.0 or older? Work through the earlier guides in order first, starting with the 1.1 upgrade, then return here.

Take a backup / snapshot of your kcp state and cluster before upgrading, and test the upgrade in a non-production environment first.

Version matrix

The KDP components are released together. For KDP 1.2.0, use:

ComponentChart / image version
KDP backend (developer-platform)1.2.0
KDP dashboard (developer-platform-dashboard)1.2.0
kcp Helm chart0.16.6 (unchanged)
Dex Helm chart0.23.0 (unchanged)
api-syncagent (service clusters)v0.7.0 (unchanged)

Upgrade order

  1. Upgrade the KDP backend chart to 1.2.0.
  2. Upgrade the KDP dashboard chart to 1.2.0.

Each step uses the same helm upgrade --install ... commands as the quickstart, with --version=1.2.0 for the KDP charts.

Verify

  • The kcp front-proxy and KDP controller-manager pods are Ready in kdp-system.
  • Existing workspaces, APIBindings, and service objects are still present and reconciling.
  • You can log in to the dashboard and browse your organization’s services.
