upgrade to v1.20.1

pbbhaskar

To follow/switch to new course material, do I need to upgrade my existing kubernetes version 1.19 to 1.20.1 ? Are there instructions documented any where? Can you please redirect me to right resource?

I am looking at https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/kubeadm-upgrade/ . Is this the right place to start upgrading?

Hi @pbbhaskar,

The lab environment setup instructions in the course assume the bootstrapping of a new Kubernetes cluster for the course. An existing cluster can be upgraded following the official documentation, however, I would compare and contrast the course instructions from the lab manual v1.19.0, the latest v1.20.1, and the documentation upgrade steps to catch any possible custom steps and/or changes that may have been introduced in the new course update release.

Regards,

I upgraded my nodes from 1.17 to 1.18 then 1.18 to 1.19 following this https://v1-19.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/kubeadm-upgrade/

Anyway, the documentation for k8s v 1.19 seems to be not maintained anymore (ex: https://v1-19.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/)...
