Define process to provide consistent testing windows for new Kyma versions #13985

Closed varbanv closed 6 months ago

varbanv commented 2 years ago

Description

Provide a way for customers to test and validate new Kyma versions before their managed production clusters are upgraded.

Reasons

Kyma version upgrades can introduce breaking changes for customer workloads. We extensively test the upgrades with our components but we do not have an official process on how to enable our customers to test their workloads with the new version. Customers have requested that there is a defined window when they can test Kyma version upgrades on their Dev and Test managed environments and that window should be longer than few days. We also have requests from internal teams to be able to test new functionality for longer periods with the help of a subset of users in order to get better feedback and detect any potential issues. Providing a testing window to customers would give us such capability.

Collect stage/dev global accounts from customers and perform upgrade together with kyma-integration upgrade. Provide one week window for customers tests.

Any updates on this issue about availability?

Best regards, Madhu

Hi @mperumalswamy we are making steady progress with our modularization approach that includes the concept of release channels. Based on the release channels, end users would be able to select and use upcoming versions of each component in their clusters in order to preview and/or test new functionality ahead of the official releases. And, of course, the new approach allows users to only select the components they need in order to reduce upgrade times and disruption potential.

Hi @varbanv Any timeline regarding this?

varbanv commented 1 year ago

Hi @mperumalswamy we will be doing a gradual migration to the new architecture. So some components could have this as early as end of Q1 while others could stretch into Q3.

We have completed the Kyma modularization project and will migrate the last component in existing clusters to the corresponding module this weekend. From then on, users can test upcoming versions of any module by using the Fast channel in their non-production clusters and will receive that same module version in the Regular channel 2 weeks later. Please, do not use Fast channel on production clusters!
