Chapter 4. Upgrade Quay Bridge Operator

To upgrade the Quay Bridge Operator (QBO), change the Channel Subscription update channel in the Subscription tab to the desired channel.

When upgrading QBO from version 3.5 to 3.7, a number of extra steps are required:

  1. You need to create a new QuayIntegration custom resource. This can be completed in the Web Console or from the command line.

    upgrade-quay-integration.yaml

    - apiVersion: quay.redhat.com/v1
  kind: QuayIntegration
  metadata:
    name: example-quayintegration-new
  spec:
    clusterID: openshift 1
    credentialsSecret:
      name: quay-integration
      namespace: openshift-operators
    insecureRegistry: false
    quayHostname: https://registry-quay-quay35.router-default.apps.cluster.openshift.com

    1
    Make sure that the clusterID matches the value for the existing QuayIntegration resource.

  2. Create the new QuayIntegration custom resource: 

    $ oc create -f upgrade-quay-integration.yaml
  3. Delete the old QuayIntegration custom resource.

  4. Delete the old mutatingwebhookconfigurations: 

    $ oc delete mutatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io quay-bridge-operator

4.1. Upgrading a geo-replication deployment of the Red Hat Quay Operator

Use the following procedure to upgrade your geo-replicated Red Hat Quay Operator.

Important
  • When upgrading geo-replicated Red Hat Quay Operator deployments to the next y-stream release (for example, Red Hat Quay 3.7 Red Hat Quay 3.8), you must stop operations before upgrading.
  • There is intermittent downtime down upgrading from one y-stream release to the next.
  • It is highly recommended to back up your Red Hat Quay Operator deployment before upgrading.
Procedure

This procedure assumes that you are running the Red Hat Quay Operator on three (or more) systems. For this procedure, we will assume three systems named System A, System B, and System C. System A will serve as the primary system in which the Red Hat Quay Operator is deployed.

  1. On System B and System C, scale down your Red Hat Quay Operator deployment. This is done by disabling auto scaling and overriding the replica county for Red Hat Quay, mirror workers, and Clair (if it is managed). Use the following quayregistry.yaml file as a reference: 

    apiVersion: quay.redhat.com/v1
kind: QuayRegistry
metadata:
  name: registry
  namespace: ns
spec:
  components:
    …
    - kind: horizontalpodautoscaler
      managed: false 1
    - kind: quay
      managed: true
      overrides: 2
        replicas: 0
    - kind: clair
      managed: true
      overrides:
        replicas: 0
    - kind: mirror
      managed: true
      overrides:
        replicas: 0
    …
    1
    Disable auto scaling of Quay, Clair and Mirroring workers
    2
    Set the replica count to 0 for components accessing the database and objectstorage
    Note

    You must keep the Red Hat Quay Operator running on System A. Do not update the quayregistry.yaml file on System A.

  2. Wait for the registry-quay-app, registry-quay-mirror, and registry-clair-app pods to disappear. Enter the following command to check their status: 

    oc get pods -n <quay-namespace>

    Example output

    quay-operator.v3.7.1-6f9d859bd-p5ftc               1/1     Running     0             12m
quayregistry-clair-postgres-7487f5bd86-xnxpr       1/1     Running     1 (12m ago)   12m
quayregistry-quay-app-upgrade-xq2v6                0/1     Completed   0             12m
quayregistry-quay-config-editor-6dfdcfc44f-hlvwm   1/1     Running     0             73s
quayregistry-quay-redis-84f888776f-hhgms           1/1     Running     0             12m

  3. On System A, initiate a Red Hat Quay Operator upgrade to the latest y-stream version. This is a manual process. For more information about upgrading installed Operators, see Upgrading installed Operators. For more information about Red Hat Quay upgrade paths, see Upgrading the Red Hat Quay Operator.
  4. After the new Red Hat Quay Operator is installed, the necessary upgrades on the cluster are automatically completed. Afterwards, new Red Hat Quay pods are started with the latest y-stream version. Additionally, new Quay pods are scheduled and started.

  5. Confirm that the update has properly worked by navigating to the Red Hat Quay UI:

    1. In the OpenShift console, navigate to Operators Installed Operators, and click the Registry Endpoint link.

      Important

      Do not execute the following step until the Red Hat Quay UI is available. Do not upgrade the Red Hat Quay Operator on System B and on System C until the UI is available on System A.

  6. After confirming that the update has properly worked on System A, initiate the Red Hat Quay Operator on System B and on System C. The Operator upgrade results in an upgraded Red Hat Quay installation, and the pods are restarted.

    Note

    Because the database schema is correct for the new y-stream installation, the new pods on System B and on System C should quickly start.
