Upgrade Aerospike Backup Service on Kubernetes

Caution

AKO versions 4.x and later do not support Aerospike Backup Service 2.x. All users on Aerospike Backup Service 2.x must upgrade to Aerospike Backup Service 3.x.

Upgrading Aerospike Backup Service (ABS) from version 2.x to version 3.x involves modifying the ABS CR file in two ways:

• Point to the updated image version
• Change any configuration parameters from the 2.x format to the 3.x format

Upgrade steps

1. Upgrade the ABS image to version 3.0.0 or later in the ABS CR. Pick a tag from the Aerospike Backup Service image repository.

   apiVersion: asdb.aerospike.com/v1beta1
   kind: AerospikeBackupService
   metadata:
     name: aerospikebackupservice-sample
     namespace: aerospike
   spec:
     image: aerospike/aerospike-backup-service:3.0.0
   ...

2. Modify the ABS configuration in the spec.config to match the new configuration format in accordance with the breaking changes from version 2.x to 3.x. See the ABS 3.0.0 Release Notes for more information.

3. Apply the changes in the ABS CR.

   kubectl apply -f PATH_TO_ABS_CR

   This initiates a rolling restart of the backup service pods.
