This command upgrades a package.

skipper:>release upgrade --release-name helloworldlocal --package-name helloworld --package-version 1.0.0 --properties spec.applicationProperties.server.port=9090
helloworldpcf has been upgraded.  Now at version v2.

If no package-version is specified, then the latest package version by the given package-name will be considered. The properties can either be provided via comma separated YAML String using the --properties option or, via a YAML file using the --file option.

Note

An upgrade can be done by overriding the package version or by keeping the existing package version but by overriding the properties. When overriding the package version, it needs to accompany with the corresponding properties as the existing properties won’t be carried over. In a future release we will introduce a --reuse-properties command that will carry the current release properties over to the next release to be made.

When performing an update on a package that contains nested packages, use the name of the package as a prefix in the property string or as the first level in the YAML document. For example, the ticktock package that contains a time and a log application, a command to upgrade the log application would be

skipper:>release upgrade --release-name ticktockskipper --package-name ticktock --file /home/mpollack/log-level-change.yml

where log-level-change.yml is

log:
  version: 1.1.1.RELEASE
  spec:
    applicationProperties:
      server.port: 9999
      endpoints.sensitive: false
      log.level: ERROR

Since it is quite a common use-case to change only the version of the application, the packages can list the version as a top level property in the values.yml file. For example, in the test package ticktock (located here), values.yml is

version: 1.1.0.RELEASE
spec:
  applicationProperties:
    log.level: DEBUG
  deploymentProperties:
    memory: 1024m

You can then use the --properties option in the upgrade command as shown below

skipper:>release upgrade --release-name ticktockskipper --package-name ticktock --properties log.version=1.1.1.RELEASE

This command rollsback the release to a specific version.

skipper:>release rollback --release-name helloworldlocal --release-version 1
helloworldlocal has been rolled back.  Now at version v3.

If no --release-version specified, then the rollback version is the previous stable release (either in DELETED or DEPLOYED status).
