# `update` Stanza
|
|
|
|
<Placement
|
|
groups={[
|
|
['job', 'update'],
|
|
['job', 'group', 'update'],

]}

/>
|
|
|
|
The `update` stanza specifies the group's update strategy. The update strategy
|
|
is used to control things like [rolling upgrades][rolling] and [canary
|
|
deployments][canary]. If omitted, a default update strategy is applied. If
|
|
specified at the job level, the configuration will apply to all groups within
|
|
the job. If multiple `update` stanzas are specified, they are merged with the
|
|
group stanza taking the highest precedence and then the job.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
job "docs" {
|
|
update {
|
|
max_parallel = 3
|
|
health_check = "checks"
|
|
min_healthy_time = "10s"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "5m"
|
|
progress_deadline = "10m"
|
|
auto_revert = true
|
|
auto_promote = true
|
|
canary = 1
|
|
stagger = "30s"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
~> For `system` jobs, only [`max_parallel`](#max_parallel) and
|
|
[`stagger`](#stagger) are enforced. The job is updated at a rate of
|
|
`max_parallel`, waiting `stagger` duration before the next set of updates.
|
|
The `system` scheduler will be updated to support the new `update` stanza in
|
|
a future release.
|
|
|
|
## `update` Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `max_parallel` `(int: 1)` - Specifies the number of allocations within a task group that can be
|
|
updated at the same time. The task groups themselves are updated in parallel.
|
|
|
|
- `max_parallel = 0` - Specifies that the allocation should use forced updates instead of deployments
|
|
|
|
- `health_check` `(string: "checks")` - Specifies the mechanism in which
|
|
allocations health is determined. The potential values are:
|
|
|
|
- "checks" - Specifies that the allocation should be considered healthy when
|
|
all of its tasks are running and their associated [checks][] are healthy,
|
|
and unhealthy if any of the tasks fail or not all checks become healthy.
|
|
This is a superset of "task_states" mode.
|
|
|
|
- "task_states" - Specifies that the allocation should be considered healthy when
|
|
all its tasks are running and unhealthy if tasks fail.
|
|
|
|
- "manual" - Specifies that Nomad should not automatically determine health
|
|
and that the operator will specify allocation health using the [HTTP
|
|
API](/nomad/api-docs/deployments#set-allocation-health-in-deployment).
|
|
|
|
- `min_healthy_time` `(string: "10s")` - Specifies the minimum time the
|
|
allocation must be in the healthy state before it is marked as healthy and
|
|
unblocks further allocations from being updated. This is specified using a
|
|
label suffix like "30s" or "15m".
|
|
|
|
- `healthy_deadline` `(string: "5m")` - Specifies the deadline in which the
|
|
allocation must be marked as healthy after which the allocation is
|
|
automatically transitioned to unhealthy. This is specified using a label suffix
|
|
like "2m" or "1h". If [`progress_deadline`](#progress_deadline) is non-zero, it
|
|
must be greater than `healthy_deadline`. Otherwise the `progress_deadline` may
|
|
fail a deployment before an allocation reaches its `healthy_deadline`.
|
|
|
|
- `progress_deadline` `(string: "10m")` - Specifies the deadline in which an
|
|
allocation must be marked as healthy. The deadline begins when the first
|
|
allocation for the deployment is created and is reset whenever an allocation
|
|
as part of the deployment transitions to a healthy state or when a
|
|
deployment is manually promoted. If no allocation transitions to the healthy
|
|
state before the progress deadline, the deployment is marked as failed. If
|
|
the `progress_deadline` is set to `0`, the first allocation to be marked as
|
|
unhealthy causes the deployment to fail. This is specified using a label
|
|
suffix like "2m" or "1h".
|
|
|
|
- `auto_revert` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if the job should auto-revert to the
|
|
last stable job on deployment failure. A job is marked as stable if all the
|
|
allocations as part of its deployment were marked healthy.
|
|
|
|
- `auto_promote` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if the job should auto-promote to
|
|
the canary version when all canaries become healthy during a
|
|
deployment. Defaults to false which means canaries must be manually updated
|
|
with the `nomad deployment promote` command. If a job has multiple task
|
|
groups, all must be set to `auto_promote = true` in order for the deployment
|
|
to be promoted automatically.
|
|
|
|
- `canary` `(int: 0)` - Specifies that changes to the job that would result in
|
|
destructive updates should create the specified number of canaries without
|
|
stopping any previous allocations. Once the operator determines the canaries
|
|
are healthy, they can be promoted which unblocks a rolling update of the
|
|
remaining allocations at a rate of `max_parallel`. Canary deployments cannot
|
|
be used with CSI volumes when `per_alloc = true`.
|
|
|
|
- `stagger` `(string: "30s")` - Specifies the delay between each set of
|
|
[`max_parallel`](#max_parallel) updates when updating system jobs. This
|
|
setting no longer applies to service jobs which use
|
|
[deployments.][strategies]
|
|
|
|
## `update` Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples only show the `update` stanzas. Remember that the
|
|
`update` stanza is only valid in the placements listed above.
|
|
|
|
### Parallel Upgrades Based on Checks
|
|
|
|
This example performs 3 upgrades at a time and requires the allocations be
|
|
healthy for a minimum of 30 seconds before continuing the rolling upgrade. Each
|
|
allocation is given at most 2 minutes to determine its health before it is
|
|
automatically marked unhealthy and the deployment is failed.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
update {
|
|
max_parallel = 3
|
|
min_healthy_time = "30s"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "2m"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parallel Upgrades Based on Task State
|
|
|
|
This example is the same as the last but only requires the tasks to be healthy
|
|
and does not require registered service checks to be healthy.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
update {
|
|
max_parallel = 3
|
|
min_healthy_time = "30s"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "2m"
|
|
health_check = "task_states"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Canary Upgrades
|
|
|
|
This example creates a canary allocation when the job is updated. The canary is
|
|
created without stopping any previous allocations from the job and allows
|
|
operators to determine if the new version of the job should be rolled out.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
update {
|
|
canary = 1
|
|
max_parallel = 3
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the operator has determined the new job should be deployed, the deployment
|
|
can be promoted and a rolling update will occur performing 3 updates at a time
|
|
until the remainder of the groups allocations have been rolled to the new
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
# Promote the canaries for the job.
|
|
$ nomad job promote <job-id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Blue/Green Upgrades
|
|
|
|
By setting the canary count equal to that of the task group, blue/green
|
|
deployments can be achieved. When a new version of the job is submitted, instead
|
|
of doing a rolling upgrade of the existing allocations, the new version of the
|
|
group is deployed along side the existing set. While this duplicates the
|
|
resources required during the upgrade process, it allows very safe deployments
|
|
as the original version of the group is untouched.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
group "api-server" {
|
|
count = 3
|
|
|
|
update {
|
|
canary = 3
|
|
max_parallel = 3
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the operator is satisfied that the new version of the group is stable, the
|
|
group can be promoted which will result in all allocations for the old versions
|
|
of the group to be shutdown. This completes the upgrade from blue to green, or
|
|
old to new version.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
# Promote the canaries for the job.
|
|
$ nomad job promote <job-id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Serial Upgrades
|
|
|
|
This example uses a serial upgrade strategy, meaning exactly one task group will
|
|
be updated at a time. The allocation must be healthy for the default
|
|
`min_healthy_time` of 10 seconds.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
update {
|
|
max_parallel = 1
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update Stanza Inheritance
|
|
|
|
This example shows how inheritance can simplify the job when there are multiple
|
|
task groups.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
job "example" {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
update {
|
|
max_parallel = 2
|
|
health_check = "task_states"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "10m"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
group "one" {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
update {
|
|
canary = 1
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
group "two" {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
update {
|
|
min_healthy_time = "3m"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By placing the shared parameters in the job's update stanza, each groups update
|
|
stanza may be kept to a minimum. The merged update stanzas for each group
|
|
becomes:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
group "one" {
|
|
update {
|
|
canary = 1
|
|
max_parallel = 2
|
|
health_check = "task_states"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "10m"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
group "two" {
|
|
update {
|
|
min_healthy_time = "3m"
|
|
max_parallel = 2
|
|
health_check = "task_states"
|
|
healthy_deadline = "10m"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
