Chapter 2. Update options with Red Hat build of MicroShift and Red Hat Device Edge
You can update Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Edge (RHEL for Edge) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with or without updating Red Hat build of MicroShift as long as the two versions are compatible. See the following table for details:
Red Hat Device Edge release compatibility matrix
The two products of Red Hat Device Edge work together as a single solution for device-edge computing. To successfully pair your products, use the verified releases together for each as listed in the following table:
| RHEL for Edge Version | MicroShift Version | MicroShift Release Status | MicroShift Supported Updates |
| 9.2, 9.3 | 4.14 | Generally Available | 4.14.0→4.14.z and 4.14→4.15 |
| 9.2 | 4.13 | Technology Preview | None |
| 8.7 | 4.12 | Developer Preview | None |
Red Hat build of MicroShift update paths
- Generally Available Version 4.14.0 to 4.14.z on RHEL for Edge 9.2 or 9.3
- Generally Available Version 4.14.0 to 4.14.z on RHEL 9.2 or 9.3
Updates of MicroShift from one minor version to the next must be in sequence. For example, you cannot update from 4.14 to 4.16. You must update 4.14 to 4.15.
2.1. Standalone MicroShift updates
You can update MicroShift without reinstalling the applications you created. RHEL or RHEL for Edge updates are also not required to update MicroShift, as long as the existing operating system is compatible with the new version of MicroShift that you want to use.
Red Hat build of MicroShift operates as an in-place update and does not require removal of the previous version. Data backups beyond those required for the usual functioning of your applications are also not required.
Keeping component versions in a supported configuration of Red Hat Device Edge can require updating MicroShift and RHEL at the same time. Ensure that your version of RHEL is compatible with the version of MicroShift you are updating to, especially if you are updating MicroShift across two minor versions. Otherwise, you can create an unsupported configuration, break your cluster, or both. For more information, see the Red Hat Device Edge release compatibility matrix.
2.1.1. RPM-OSTree updates
You can update MicroShift on an rpm-ostree system such as RHEL for Edge by building a new image containing the new version of MicroShift. Ensure that the version of the operating system you want to use is compatible with the new version of MicroShift that you update to.
The following features are available in the RHEL for Edge update path:
- The system automatically rolls back to a previous healthy system state if the update fails.
- Applications do not need to be reinstalled.
- You can update an application without updating MicroShift using this update type.
- The image you build can contain other updates as needed.
To begin a MicroShift update by embedding in a RHEL for Edge image, use the procedures in the following documentation:
To understand more about Greenboot, see the following documentation:
2.1.2. Manual RPM updates
You can update MicroShift manually on a non-OSTree system such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) by downloading and updating the RPMs. To complete this update type, use the subscription manager to access the repository containing the new RPMs. To begin a manual RPM update, use the procedures in the following documentation:
2.2. Standalone RHEL for Edge updates
You can update RHEL for Edge or RHEL without updating MicroShift, on the condition that the two versions are compatible. Check compatibilities before beginning an update. Use the RHEL for Edge documentation specific to your update path.
2.3. Simultaneous MicroShift and operating system updates
You can update RHEL for Edge or RHEL and update MicroShift at the same time, on the condition that the versions are compatible. Check for compatibility before beginning an update. First use the RHEL for Edge documentation specific to your update path to plan and update the operating system. Then use the MicroShift update type specific to your update path.
