Update MicroShift on RHEL for Edge

You can have automated backup and system rollback in case any part of the update fails by using the rpm-ostree update path for a new or existing RHEL for Edge deployment.

  • You can update MicroShift on an rpm-ostree system such as RHEL for Edge by building a new system image containing the new version of MicroShift.

  • The rpm-ostree image can be the same version or an updated version, but the versions of RHEL for Edge and MicroShift must be compatible.

The following features are available in the RHEL for Edge update path:

  • The system automatically rolls back to an earlier healthy system state if the update fails.

  • You do not need to reinstall applications.

  • You do not need to reinstall Operators.

  • You can update an application without updating MicroShift using this update type.

  • The image you build can contain other updates as needed.
