Instructions

Upgrade from v1.14

Install the Velero v1.15 command-line interface (CLI) by following the instructions here.

Verify that you’ve properly installed it by running:
```
velero version --client-only
```
You should see the following output:
```
Client:
    Version: v1.15.0
    Git commit: <git SHA>
```
Update the Velero custom resource definitions (CRDs) to include schema changes across all CRDs that are at the core of the new features in this release:
```
velero install --crds-only --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

Update the container image used by the Velero deployment, plugin and (optionally) the node agent daemon set:

# set the container and image of the init container for plugin accordingly,
# if you are using other plugin
kubectl set image deployment/velero \
    velero=velero/velero:v1.15.0 \
    velero-plugin-for-aws=velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.11.0 \
    --namespace velero

# optional, if using the node agent daemonset
kubectl set image daemonset/node-agent \
    node-agent=velero/velero:v1.15.0 \
    --namespace velero

Confirm that the deployment is up and running with the correct version by running:
```
velero version
```
You should see the following output:
```
Client:
    Version: v1.15.0
    Git commit: <git SHA>

Server:
    Version: v1.15.0
```
