💅 ISTIOCTL-UPGRADE — istioctl-upgrade(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the istioctl-upgrade page, straight out of the ISTIOCTL-UPGRADE(1) manual 💖 this is the one where we upgrade the Istio control plane in place, like, no moving boxes, we just ✨glow up✨ the thing that's already there. iykyk.

🌸 NAME 🌸

istioctl-upgrade — Upgrade Istio control plane in-place. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

istioctl upgrade [flags]

short, sweet, iconic. periodt.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea: the upgrade command is literally an alias for the install command 👑 like, it's the same energy, different name. no cap.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay this is the good part, grab a strawberry 🍓 — every single flag, exactly as it ships:

  • --charts="" — deprecated alert 🚨 use --manifests instead. like, this flag is so 2019, please move on bestie.
  • --dry-run[=false] — literally just console/log output only, make no changes. it's giving "window shopping" 🛍️ defaults to false.
  • -f, --filename=[] — path to file containing IstioOperator custom resource. and yes, you can specify this flag multiple times to overlay multiple files — they get overlaid in left to right order, so order matters, don't be chaotic 🙈
  • --force[=false] — proceed even with validation errors. highkey feral, but okay 😭 defaults to false.
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for upgrade. your emergency "wait what does this do" button 🫶
  • -d, --manifests="" — specify a path to a directory of charts and profiles, e.g. ~/Downloads/istio-1.31.3/manifests. yes that's the real path example, copy it exactly 💜
  • --readiness-timeout=5m0s — maximum time to wait for Istio resources in each component to be ready. five minutes of pure ✨anticipation✨ by default.
  • -r, --revision="" — target control plane revision for the command. name your revision, be that girl 🎀
  • -s, --set=[] — override an IstioOperator value! for example, to choose a profile (--set profile=demo), enable or disable components (--set components.cni.enabled=true), or override Istio settings (--set meshConfig.enableTracing=true). see documentation for more info here: https://istio.io/v1.31/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/#IstioOperatorSpec 🔥
  • -y, --skip-confirmation[=false] — the skipConfirmation determines whether the user is prompted for confirmation. if set to true, the user is not prompted and a Yes response is assumed in all cases. so like, it says yes for you. main character energy, no questions asked 👑
  • --verify[=false] — verify the Istio control plane after installation/in-place upgrade. the post-glow-up vibe check 💅

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these come from the parent command, so they're basically family heirlooms at this point:

  • --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. user could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. be someone else, respectfully 💜
  • --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. collect them like stickers 🌸
  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
  • --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context. pick your universe 🦋
  • -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — Istio system namespace. defaults to "istio-system", the classic.
  • --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds. patience is a virtue but only for fifteen seconds ⏳
  • -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file.
  • -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace.
  • --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. like -v flag. ex: --vklog=9. go off with those logs, ngl 🔥

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • istioctl(1) — the parent, the icon, the blueprint 💖
quick reminder bestie: --dry-run makes no changes and --force pushes through even with validation errors — both are literally in the flags above, so use them with your eyes open 😭
