Is there a table in any Linkerd documentation anywhere that describes which version of Helm Chart linkerd-crds
should be used with linkerd-control-plane
?
Currently my cluster’s setup looks something like:-
+-----------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-------------+
| Linkerd Component | Current Version | Helm Chart | Helm Chart |
| Name | | Name | Version |
+-----------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-------------+
| linkerd-destination | | | |
| linkerd-identity | stable-2.13.5 | linkerd-control-plane | 1.12.5 |
| linkerd-proxy-injector| | | |
+-----------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-------------+
| various linkerd CRDs | ? | linkerd-crds | 1.6.1 |
+-----------------------+-----------------+-----------------------+-------------+
I deploy linkerd-crds
& linkerd-control-plane
as two separate Helm charts in their own deployment pipelines (because CRDs must be installed before the rest of Linkerd). I would like to automatically deploy the latest minor release (e.g. stable-2.13.*) which I’d do with my own “Parent” Helm chart, e.g
Chart.yaml
:-
dependencies:
- name: linkerd-control-plane
version: ~1.12
repository: https://helm.linkerd.io/stable
condition: linkerd-control-plane.enabled
alias: linkerdControlPlane
where version: ~1.12 should fetch the latest Helm Chart 1.12.5, which contains the appVersion stable-2.13.5. The recent linkerd-control-plane
Helm Chart versions appear to marry-up with Linkerd app versions like:-
+------------+--------+
|Helm Chart | App |
+------------+--------+
| 1.12.* | 2.13.* |
| 1.9.* | 2.12.* |
+------------+--------+
but I’m not sure about the linkerd-crds
Chart versions, and how they relate to the main application Chart. For example, does:-
+--------------+--------+
|linkerd-crds | linkerd-control-plane |
+--------------+--------+
| 1.6.1 | 1.12.5 |
| 1.6.0 | 1.12.4 |
| | 1.12.3 |
| | 1.12.2 |
| | 1.12.1 |
+--------------+--------+
| 1.4.0 | 1.9.7 |
+--------------+--------|
relate to one-another?
It was suggested I raise this as a thread here, from my discussion in Slack here
tl;dr - how do I know/handle the major version changes in linkerd-crds
such that I don’t break them with a wrong linkerd-control-plane
?
Thanks
