kube-no-trouble VS silver-surfer

We also leverage tools like Kubent, popeye, kdave, and Pluto to help us manage API deprecations (when Kubernetes deprecates features in updates) and ensure the overall health of our infrastructure.

kubent has been my goto for this - you point it at your cluster, tell it the target version you want to use, and it'll let you know if you have any depreciated resources and what you'll need to change. It's simple to use, quick, and just does the job.

You have to constantly run tools like https://github.com/doitintl/kube-no-trouble / https://github.com/FairwindsOps/pluto.

A great tool for checking depreciations is kubent/kube-no-trouble: https://github.com/doitintl/kube-no-trouble

https://github.com/doitintl/kube-no-trouble can be used to check for deprecated/removed APIs - you'll need to fix these in your codebase. You should fix these before upgrading your cluster

Just upgraded a few clusters from 1.21 to 1.24 the past few weeks. Used kubent (Kube No Trouble https://github.com/doitintl/kube-no-trouble) before upgrading and reviewed the output. Pretty painless process all in all.

git clone https://github.com/devtron-labs/silver-surfer.git cd silver-surfer go mod vendor go mod download make

Upgrades using eksctl are easy and enabling pod disruption budgets let you do the upgrades without any downtime. Do remember to check for any removed apis in the target cluster version (k8s 1.22 has removed a lot of apis) before you upgrade. I use an open source tool silversurfer for the same.
