Configuring the Upgrade Pipeline

Page last updated:

Warning: VMware Enterprise PKS v1.7 is no longer supported because it has reached the End of General Support (EOGS) phase as defined by the Support Lifecycle Policy. To stay up to date with the latest software and security updates, upgrade to a supported version.

This topic describes how to set up a Concourse pipeline to perform automatic upgrades of a VMware Enterprise PKS installation.

When you configure the upgrade pipeline, the pipeline upgrades your installation when a new Enterprise PKS release becomes available on VMware Tanzu Network.

By default, the pipeline upgrades when a new major patch version is available.

For more information about configuring and using Concourse for continuous integration (CI), see the Concourse documentation.

Perform the following steps:

1. From a browser, log in to VMware Tanzu Network.

2. Navigate to the Platform Automation Tools product page to download the upgrade-tile pipeline.

   Note: If you cannot access Platform Automation Tools on VMware Tanzu Network, contact Support.

3. (Optional) Edit params.yml to configure the pipeline.

   • For example, edit the product_version_regex value to follow minor version updates.

4. Set the pipeline using the fly CLI for Concourse. See the upgrade-tile pipeline documentation for more information.
