Questions

Since 0.8.0 installing the utilities on a kubernates setup has become faster and easier. But how about upgrading to the latest utilities version ?

Since 0.8.0 we can use helm chart to upgrade our utility and it’s extremely easy, you just have to run one command and it is the same as the install one!

You can find it in the official documentation, for example on a dev env you will find it here Install (Kubernetes) — Digital Asset’s platform documentation
To avoid any issue there a just a few steps to check before that

  1. Make sure you run the command where your values.yaml file is.

  2. Make sure you’re on the correct context, where you VN cluster is. You can check your contexts with the command kubectl config get-contexts and use kubectl config use-context [YOUR-CONTEXT-NAME]

  3. Make sure you use the correct namespace name when upgrading, otherwise you may create a new namespace instead of upgrading the existing on

  4. Once you’ve check all of this, you just need to run the command… and that’s it, you’re upgraded!

For example if you want to upgrade to 0.8.2 on a namespace named validator you would run:
helm upgrade --install --create-namespace -n validator utilities -f values.yaml oci://europe-docker.pkg.dev/da-images/public/charts/utilities:0.8.2
You should see something similar to this as a result:
