Migration information

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 1.3.0, run specific preparation and cleanup commands before the upgrade. These commands vary depending on whether you use Helm-based or manifest-based upgrades:

• For Helm-based upgrades (using helm upgrade): Follow the commands provided in the readme.txt file included in the generated deployment zip. For an example of this preparation plus the upgrade to 1.3.0, see Special procedure to upgrade Dynamic Engine to 1.3.0.
• For manifest-based upgrades (using kubectl apply): Use the commands below:
  1. Remove the old Helm release annotations:
     • For Dynamic Engine, run:

       kubectl annotate svc,secret,cm,pvc,deploy,cronjob,role,rolebinding,hpa,PodDisruptionBudget,NetworkPolicy,sa \
         -n qlik-dynamic-engine \
         -l 'app in (reloader)' \
         meta.helm.sh/release-name- meta.helm.sh/release-namespace-

     • For each Dynamic Engine environment, run:

       kubectl annotate svc,secret,cm,pvc,deploy,cronjob,role,rolebinding,hpa,PodDisruptionBudget,NetworkPolicy,sa,clusterrole,clusterrolebinding \
         -n qlik-processing-env-$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID \
         -l 'app.qlik.com/processing-environment-id=$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID' \
         meta.helm.sh/release-name- meta.helm.sh/release-namespace-

       Replace $DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID with the actual value.
  2. Remove some old Helm secrets from the Dynamic Engine deployment and its environments.
     • For Dynamic Engine, run:

       kubectl delete secret -A -l owner=helm,name=reloader

     • For each Dynamic Engine environment, run:

       kubectl delete secret -A -l owner=helm,'name in (di-job-controller-$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID, \
         di-job-deployer-$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID, engine-config-manager-$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID, \
         log-collector-$DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID)'

       Each placeholder $DYNAMIC_ENGINE_ENVIRONMENT_ID needs to be replaced by the corresponding environment ID.

Included services

Artifact signature verification

Qlik provides digital signatures for all official images and Helm charts from Dynamic Engine v0.22 onwards. All artifacts are signed at build time with an asymmetric key pair: the private key is used for signing, and the public key is made available for signature verification.

For further information about this optional authenticity check of Dynamic Engine artifacts, see Security option: Verifying Dynamic Engine artifact signatures.
