Guide

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

Connect to your cluster using the kubeconfig.
Export your current Helm values file. Keep one copy for the upgrade process and another as a backup.

In the values file, update the following properties:

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

 application:
   cluedin:

Apply the values file from your shell by running the following:

 # ${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=true \
     --set application.system.runDatabaseJobsOnUpgrade=true \
     --set application.system.runNugetFullRestore=true \
     --wait \
     --timeout 10m0s

After a few minutes, it should complete successfully.

Wait until the deployment finishes.
Perform the validation:
- Make sure that all pods are healthy and all jobs are completed.
- Ensure that there are no errors in the pod logs.

If there are any issues during the upgrade process, please do not hesitate to reach out to CluedIn support.

Stage 2: Run Data Upgrade

Apply data upgrade by running following command:

 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

Validation:
- ❗ Confirm the data upgrade completed successfully.

Stage 3: Finalize Upgrade

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

 # ${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

Validation:
- Ensure no errors in the pod logs.
- Verify the server starts in normal mode.
