How to update helm deployments

You can either upgrade the entire helm chart or choose to update individual container images based on your preference.

Upgrading helm chart version

1. Update the helm repo

   helm repo update

   
2. Check the latest version for your deployment.

   helm show chart akto/akto-mini-runtime

   
3. Upgrade the helm chart to the latest version for your deployment in your namespace.

   helm upgrade akto-mini-runtime akto/akto-mini-runtime -n <namespace> --version 0.1.6

   

Directly updating container images

1. Check the image pull policy for the deployment. To check the image pull policy run the following commands.

   kubectl get deployments -n dev
   kubectl get deployment akto-mini-runtime-mini-runtime -n dev -o yaml

   

   
2. According to your image pull policy, follow ahead:

   1. imagePullPolicy: Always : If image pull policy is set to always, first check if the tag for the image is set to latest, if not then set it. Then run the rollout command. This will restart the pods in the deployment and download the latest builds.

      kubectl set image deployment/akto-mini-runtime-mini-runtime akto-api-security-runtime=aktosecurity/mini-runtime:latest -n dev
      kubectl rollout restart deployment akto-mini-runtime-mini-runtime -n dev

      

      
   2. imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent : If image pull policy is set to IfNotPresent, we would need to use versioned images for the modules which would contain the newer builds.

      kubectl set image deployment/akto-mini-runtime-mini-runtime akto-api-security-runtime=aktosecurity/mini-runtime:1.42.3_local -n dev
