MI 1.1 Upgrade process

Prerequisites

  • install go
  • install gcloud and authenticate
  • install gh (the GitHub CLI) and authenticate

Install mi (or run go run ./util/cmd/mi for all subsequent mi commands):

make install

# if you don't have $GOBIN
# add $HOME/.bin to your path
GOBIN=~/.bin make install

Steps

Create the instance upgrade tracking issue

Open the output link in your browser to create the tracking issue

mi create-tracking-issue -target $VERSION # e.g. 4.0.0

Prepare new resources

Ensure new version of docker-compose.yaml file is in the golden directory. If they are not, download the file and open a PR to commit the file prior to upgrade:

mi update-golden -target $VERSION # e.g. 4.0.0

Then, upgrade the executors module: modules/executors/main.tf, replace all version fields values with $VERSION.

Then, create a pull request with your changes, and include a reference to the upgrade tracking issue.

Example pull request: sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-managed#1778

Upgrade instances

SOC2/CI-108

Configure facts:

export VERSION=3.40.0

Using mi you can generate commands to trigger automated upgrades for instances that are not yet upgraded:

# For trial instances
mi workflow upgrade -target $VERSION -instance-type=trial
# For customer instances
mi workflow upgrade -target $VERSION -instance-type=production

The generated commands can then be run in bulk, and you can check #cloud-notifications for the results of each workflow run, or using gh:

gh run list --workflow=mi_upgrade.yml

SOC2/CI-108

This automated workflow will generate a pull request for each instance to represent the upgrade that:

  1. Links to full logs of the automated upgrade process (retained for 90 days)
  2. Embeds a summary of an automated full instance healthcheck (retained permanently)
  3. Links to the tracking issue associated with the upgrade

To review currently open PRs for successful instance upgrades using gh:

# Sanity check to see that the PRs correspond to instances you have upgraded
gh pr list --label 'mi-upgrade'

# Save the list of PRs you are going to work with
gh pr list --label 'mi-upgrade' --json number --jq '.[].number' > upgrade-prs.txt

# Review the test plan of each PR (press 'q' to review the next one)
cat upgrade-prs.txt | xargs -n1 gh pr view

If an upgrade fails, follow the logs and figure out which step went wrong, then follow the manual upgrade to finish the upgrade.

If all is well, approve and merge each instance upgrade:

# Approve each PR
cat upgrade-prs.txt | xargs -n1 gh pr review --approve

# Merge each PR
cat upgrade-prs.txt | xargs -n1 gh pr merge --squash

Finally, update the tracking issue.

Manual Upgrade (deprecated)

Configure facts:

export CUSTOMER=demo
export VERSION=3.40.0

Check $CUSTOMER/config.yaml and make sure the file is present

Create branch:

git checkout -b $CUSTOMER/upgrade-v$VERSION

Upgrade the deployment. At a high level, this will perform the following steps

  • update the symbolic link of $CUSTOMER/$CURRENT_DEPLOYMENT/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml to the target golden file golden/docker-compose.X.Y.Z.yaml
  • sync the updated deployment artifact (e.g. docker-compose.yaml, prometheus_targets.yaml) to the VM
  • backup the Cloud SQL instance
  • run docker-compose up -d on the VM
mi --customer $CUSTOMER upgrade --target $VERSION

(Optional) If the instance has executors enabled (search for enable_executors = true in $CUSTOMER/terraform.tfvars), make sure the terraform module is up-to-date, then apply the terraform module

You should be expecting some replacement on the executors docker-mirror compute instance and the instance group

# Found in the [Managed Instances vault](https://my.1password.com/vaults/nwbckdjmg4p7y4ntestrtopkuu/allitems/d64bhllfw4wyybqnd4c3wvca2m)
export TF_VAR_opsgenie_webhook=<OpsGenie Webhook value>
terraform apply

SOC2/CI-108

Conduct a full instance healthcheck.

Commit your change:

git add . && git commit -m "$CUSTOMER: update docker-compose.yaml"

Create a pull request:

gh pr create --title "$CUSTOMER: upgrade to $NEW_VERSION" --body "Part of <link to release tracking Github ticket>\n## Test plan: <paste mi check results>\n"

Post-upgrade healthcheck

SOC2/CI-108

An automated healthcheck is conducted via the following command:

mi --customer $CUSTOMER check --executors

This healthcheck generates a summary that denotes whether:

  1. All containers are running and healthy
  2. The Sourcegraph frontend service is accessible
  3. Executor instances are configured correctly and can be scaled up to a non-zero count
