## Guide

> **Important:** Before any upgrade takes place, ensure you have taken a snapshot or **backup of all your running PVCs** in your AKS cluster. This is very important as databases may be upgraded during this process.

### Stage 1: Prepare for upgrade

  1. Connect to your cluster using the kubeconfig.

  1. Export your current Helm values file. Keep one copy for the upgrade process and another as a backup.

  1. In the values file, update the following properties:

      ```yaml
      global:
        image:
          tag: "2026.01.00"
        strategy:
          type: Recreate

      helm upgrade cluedin-platform -n cluedin cluedin/cluedin-platform \
          --version 2.7.0 \
          --values ${CustomValues} \
          --set application.system.upgradeMode=true \
          --set application.system.runDatabaseJobsOnUpgrade=true \
          --set application.system.runNugetFullRestore=true \
          --wait \
          --timeout 10m0s
      ```
      After a few minutes, it should complete successfully.

### Stage 2: Run Data Upgrade

      ```bash
      kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
      apiVersion: api.cluedin.com/v1
      kind: DataUpgrade
      metadata:
        annotations:
          meta.helm.sh/release-name: cluedin-platform
          meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: cluedin
        labels:
          app: cluedin
          app.kubernetes.io/instance: cluedin-platform
          app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
          app.kubernetes.io/name: application
          helm.sh/chart: application-2.7.0
          release: cluedin-platform
        name: data-upgrade-470
        namespace: cluedin
      spec:
        toVersion: Version470
      EOF
      ```

  1. Validation:

      - ❗ Confirm the data upgrade completed successfully.

### Stage 3: Finalize Upgrade

1. Run the final stage of the upgrade to bring the system back online (disable upgrade mode):

    ```bash
    # ${CustomValues} refers to the values file you have amended with the above changes. Please type the full path here.

    helm upgrade cluedin-platform -n cluedin cluedin/cluedin-platform \
      --version 2.7.0 \
      --values ${CustomValues} \
      --set application.system.upgradeMode=false \
      --set application.system.runDatabaseJobsOnUpgrade=false \
      --set application.system.runNugetFullRestore=false
    ```

1. Validation:
    - Ensure no errors in the pod logs.
