Migrating From the Legacy Agent
This page describes how to migrate from our legacy agents to the new outpost agents and extensions.
- "All or nothing" - We recommend replacing all legacy agents with the new outpost agents and their extensions. You cannot consistently attack targets using a mixed form of legacy and outpost agents.
- Most of the functionality will work seamlessly, but there are a few breaking changes. Please take a moment to review them.
- You will be able to go back to Legacy Agents at any point in time. Only if you added new actions to address breaking changes, you need to revert these changes manually.
- Make sure you have the latest platform release installed.
First, we must uninstall all Legacy and AWS Agents (if you have installed them before). Extensions can now be installed with the combined outpost/extension helm-chart. To do that, we recommend uninstalling all existing extensions as well.
- Using helm
- Get an overview of what is currently installed in your cluster:
helm list -A -f 'steadybit-*' - Uninstall everything, examples:
helm uninstall steadybit-agent --namespace steadybit-agenthelm uninstall steadybit-agent --namespace steadybit-agent-awshelm uninstall steadybit-extension-kong --namespace steadybit-extension\
- Manual using kubectl (not recommended)
- Get a list of all namespaces in your cluster
kubectl get ns - Delete the namespace if existing.
kubectl delete namespace steadybit-agentkubectl delete namespace steadybit-agent-awskubectl delete namespace steadybit-extension
- You may need to check out non-namespaced resources that need to be cleaned up. (That's why we recommend uninstalling via helm)
- List:
kubectl get persistentvolumes | grep steadybitDelete:kubectl delete persistentvolumes <id> - List:
kubectl get clusterroles | grep steadybitDelete:kubectl delete clusterroles <name> - List:
kubectl get clusterrolebindings | grep steadybitDelete:kubectl delete clusterrolebindings <name>
Next, we can install the outpost agent and all desired extensions. Please take a look at the installation guide.
By default the new actions will not be active. You activate them on the Settings -> Extensions -> Actions Page.
Toggle for activating the new outpost agent
- Uninstall all outpost agents and extensions
helm uninstall steadybit-outpost --namespace steadybit-outpost
- Install the legacy agent as you did in the past. In case you need help, visit the Install Legacy Agent docs.
- Visit Settings -> Extensions -> Actions and switch back to the legacy agent. After switching back the legacy agents' actions will be used again.
Toggle fo switching back to the legacy agent mode
- You should delete all actions and target types no longer reported by the outpost agents, those are marked with the label "Missing Agent"
