Rolling Release

After a component is created and deployed, you can upgrade a Running or Not ready component in rolling release mode.

In rolling release mode, only one or more instances are upgraded at a time and then added to the production environment. This process repeats until all old instances are upgraded. Services will not be interrupted during the upgrade.

For details about how to upgrade multiple component versions of the same application in batches, see Upgrading Components in Batches.

Prerequisites

You have created and deployed a component. For details, see Creating and Deploying a Component.

Procedure

  1. Log in to ServiceStage.
  2. Use either of the following methods to go to the component Overview page.

    • On the Application Management page, click the application to which the component belongs, and click the target component in Component List. Alternatively, right-click the component and go to the component Overview page from the shortcut menu.
    • On the Component Management page, click the target component. Alternatively, right-click the component and go to the component Overview page from the shortcut menu.

  3. Click Upgrade in the upper right corner of the page.
  4. Select Rolling Release for Upgrade Type.
  5. Click Next and set the component version configuration information by referring to the following table. Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

    Parameter

    Description

    Stack

    The value is fixed to the technology stack selected during component creation and deployment.

    *YAML Mode

    Uses YAML configurations to upgrade components if the component is deployed in the Kubernetes environment.

    • Disabled: The GUI configurations are used to upgrade components.
    • Enabled: The YAML configurations are used to upgrade components. The latest load information of the component is automatically synchronized from CCE where the target component is deployed for component upgrade after modification. Alternatively, click Import YAML File to import the edited YAML configuration file of the target component.
    NOTE:

    If YAML configurations are used to upgrade components, the parameters in the YAML configuration file are described in Deployment.

    *Software Package/Image

    The value is fixed to the component source selected during component creation and deployment.

    • YAML Mode disabled: If you select Source code repository, create authorization by referring to Authorizing a Repository and set the code source. If you select a software package or image package, the option is fixed to the software package type (JAR, WAR, or ZIP) or image package type selected during component creation and deployment. It is determined by the selected technology stack type. For details, see Table 1.
    • YAML Mode enabled: If you select Source code repository, create authorization by referring to Authorizing a Repository and set the code source. If you select a software package, the option is fixed to the software package type (JAR, WAR, or ZIP) selected during component creation and deployment. It is determined by the selected technology stack type. For details, see Table 1.

    *Upload Method

    • YAML Mode disabled: If the component source is software package or image package, select an uploaded software package or image package. For details about the upload method, see Component Source.
    • YAML Mode enabled: If the component source is software package, select an uploaded software package. For details about the upload method, see Component Source.

    *Command

    This parameter is mandatory when YAML Mode is disabled, the component source is Source code repository, the component is deployed in the Kubernetes environment, and the selected technology stack type is Java, Tomcat, Node.js, Python, or PHP.

    • Default command or script: preferentially executes build.sh in the root directory. If build.sh does not exist, the code will be compiled using the common method of the selected language. Example: mvn clean package for Java.
    • Custom command: Commands are customized using the selected language. Alternatively, the default command or script is used after build.sh is modified.
      NOTICE:
      • If Custom command is selected, exercise caution when inputting sensitive information in the echo, cat, or debug command, or encrypt sensitive information to avoid information leakage.
      • To run the compilation command in the project subdirectory, you need to go to the project subdirectory and then run other script commands. For example:

        cd ./weather/

        mvn clean package

    *Dockerfile Address

    This parameter is mandatory when YAML Mode is disabled, the component source is Source code repository, the component is deployed in the Kubernetes environment, and the selected technology stack type is Java, Tomcat, Node.js, Python, or PHP.

    Dockerfile Address is the directory where the Dockerfile is located relative to the root directory (./) of the project. The Dockerfile is used to build an image.

    If Dockerfile Address is not specified, the system searches for the Dockerfile in the root directory of the project by default. If the Dockerfile does not exist in the root directory, the system automatically generates the Dockerfile based on the selected operating environment.

    *Component Version

    Component version number, which can be automatically generated or customized.

    • Automatically-generated: Click Generate. By default, the version number is the time when you click Generate. The format is yyyy.mmdd.hhmms, where s is the ones place of the second in the timestamp. For example, if the timestamp is 2022.0803.104321, the version number is 2022.0803.10431.
    • Customized: Enter a value in the format of A.B.C or A.B.C.D. A, B, C, and D are natural numbers. For example, 1.0.0 or 1.0.0.0.
      NOTICE:

      The customized version number must be unique and cannot be the same as any historical version number of the component.

    Resources

    This parameter is available when YAML Mode is disabled and the component is deployed based on CCE.

    Components cannot be scheduled to nodes whose residual resources are fewer than the requested amount. For details about how to configure the request and limit parameters, see Managing Resources for Containers.

    You can customize CPU and Memory to set their quota, and change the maximum/minimum number of CPU cores and memory size (GiB) that can be used by components. To make modifications, select the item to be changed and enter a new value.

    Unselected parameters indicate no restriction.

    Environment variables

    This parameter is available when the component is deployed based on VM. For details, see Configuring Environment Variables of a Component.

    JVM Parameters

    This parameter is available when YAML Mode is disabled or the component is deployed based on VM, and the technology stack type is Java or Tomcat. It configures the memory size during Java code running.

    Enter the JVM parameter, for example, -Xms256m -Xmx1024m. Multiple parameters are separated by spaces. If the parameter is left blank, the value is empty.

    Tomcat

    This parameter is available when YAML Mode is disabled or the component is deployed based on VM, and the technology stack type is Tomcat. It configures parameters such as the request path and port number of Tomcat.

    1. Select Tomcat. The Tomcat dialog box is displayed.
    2. Click Use Sample Code and edit the template file based on service requirements.
      NOTE:

      In Tomcat configuration, the default server.xml configuration is used. The context path is /, and no application path is specified.

      If you need to customize an application path, customize the Tomcat context path by referring to How Do I Customize a Tomcat Context Path?

    3. Click OK.

    Advanced Settings

    This parameter is available when YAML Mode is disabled and the component is deployed based on CCE.

    Set Microservice Engine, Component Configuration, Deployment Configuration, and O&M Monitoring by referring to 13.

    *Deployment Batches

    This parameter is available when the component is deployed based on CCE.

    Number of batches in which component instances are upgraded. The value range is [1, Total number of instances]. Total number of instances refers to the number of running instances of the component.

    For example, if there are 4 component instances and Deployment Batches is set to 2, these component instances are upgraded in two batches, and each batch involves two component instances.

  6. Click Upgrade.

    Wait until the component status changes from Upgrading/Rolling back to Running, indicating that the component version configuration is successfully upgraded.
