Upgrade an existing non-Kubernetes WCS cluster

[tyskjohan]

How would I use this deployment to upgrade an existing cluster? Basically I would want to skip the RCU creation step and rather point the new cluster at an existing database with an existing repository. Copying the files should be quite straight forward.

Upgrading non-kubernetes cluster is not possible. I am not sure what product version you are using as of now. Here is what you can do to work around.

1. If you have customization in sites.war
   A. Create a custom docker image with your customization
   B. Use this image to spin the kubernetes based wcs cluster (No RCU etc is needed)
   C. Make this a target and publish all the sites from non-kubernetes cluster

2. If there is no customization
   A. Use this default image to spin the kubernetes based wcs cluster (No RCU etc is needed)
   B. Make this a target and publish all the sites from non-kubernetes cluster

Now coming to what you are looking .. like

1. Pointing to existing db
2. Pointing to existing file system

Above is possible if file system path in k8s cluster and your existing cluster are same, this would work. Otherwise there would be lot of workaround
