Upgrade UXP

Use the up command-line Upbound Universal Crossplane (UXP) to upgrade an existing install to a newer version or to upgrade from open source Crossplane.

UXP supports upgrading from any older UXP release to any newer UXP release version.

Use up uxp upgrade <VERSION> to upgrade UXP.

For example, to upgrade to version v1.7.0-up.1 use the command

1

up uxp upgrade v1.7.0-up.1 -n upbound-system

You must provide the current UXP namespace.

UXP supports upgrading from open source Crossplane to UXP with identical version numbers.

Identical versions have the same major, minor, and patch numbers.
For example, Crossplane v1.3.1 and UXP v1.3.1-up.1 are identical.

Crossplane v1.3.1 and UXP v1.3.3-up.1 aren’t.

Use up uxp upgrade <VERSION> to upgrade from Crossplane to UXP.

1

up uxp upgrade v1.7.0-up.1 -n crossplane-system

You must install UXP in the same namespace as the existing Crossplane install.

To upgrade Crossplane to UXP find the current version of Crossplane installed.
