Upgrade

Learn about Upgrading Trilio on OpenShift and Upstream Kubernetes

RedHat OpenShift

OpenShift updates are delivered directly through the Operator Lifecycle Manager framework.

When installing the Trilio Operator, the cluster admin can specify how to update via an approval strategy - either manual or automatic.

A manual subscription will require manually approving the new update that is available. An automatic subscription will automatically update the application when an update is available.

OpenShift Approval Strategy

Enable/Disable Openshift Console Plugin

• Navigate to Installed Operator and search for Trilio for Kubernetes. Inside the Detail section will find console plugin in side tab as marked in image below.
