Testing Kubernetes Upgrades

In order to test a kubernetes upgrade, the recommended approach is to:

• Build a StarlingX load with a previous kubernetes version
• Build a set of patches for the new kubernetes version
• Install the load and perform the upgrade

For example, if the release of StarlingX you are testing is currently using kubernetes v1.16.2, you could build a load using kubernetes v1.16.1.

Building a StarlingX load with a previous kubernetes version

The following changes must be made and then a load must be built.
