# Upgrade Instructions

### Upgrade Instructions

In order to upgrade the existing deployment of the Envoy Authorizer, use the `helm upgrade` command:

```
helm upgrade sidecar-test authz-envoy
```

Update the version of the `authz-envoy-sidecar` to `1.6.0` and apply this configuration - `kubectl apply -f samples/authz_v1_plainidinjector.yaml`:

```
kind: PlainidInjector
spec:
  ...
  container:
    name: plainid-authz
    image: docker.io/plainid/authz-envoy-sidecar:1.6.0
    ...
```

### Upgrade from version 1.2.x to 1.6.x

**Helm chart** Helm chart name is changed, new name is `authz-envoy`.

#### Cert Management

***Please note - if you are using the certificates that are included in the container, you will need to change to the mount, as described below.*** As part of the security enhancements in `authz-operator` version `1.6.0`, the certificates are no longer included inside of `authz-operator` container. From version 1.6.0, the certificates should be mounted from a `Secret`. Here is an example of `plainid-controller-manager` deployment with mounted certificates (`templates/manager.yaml` file):

```
spec:
  ...
  template:
    ...
    spec:
      ...
      containers:
        ...
        volumeMounts:
            - mountPath: /app/certs
              name: cert
              readOnly: true
              ...
      volumes:
        - name: cert
          secret:
            defaultMode: 420
            secretName: plainid-webhook-server-cert
```

`Secret` configuration is present in `templates/webhook.yaml` file and is taken from values.yaml file.

Example:

```
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  ...
  name: plainid-webhook-server-cert
type: Opaque
data:
  bundle.pem: { { .Values.webhook.bundle } }
  tls.crt: { { .Values.webhook.crt } }
  tls.key: { { .Values.webhook.key } }
```
