Update before master

{: #122_before}

The following table shows the actions that you must take before you update the Kubernetes master. {: shortdesc}

Type	Description
Unsupported: Beta versions of PriorityClass API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the scheduling.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.14. For more information, see Deprecated API Migration Guide - v1.22{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta versions of ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding, Role, and RoleBinding APIs	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.8. For more information, see Deprecated API Migration Guide - v1.22{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta versions of ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and MutatingWebhookConfiguration APIs	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.16. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta version of CustomResourceDefinition API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the apiextensions.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.16. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta version of APIService API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the apiregistration.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.10. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta version of TokenReview API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the authentication.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.10. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta versions of SubjectAccessReview, LocalSubjectAccessReview, SelfSubjectAccessReview APIs	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the authorization.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.6. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta version of CertificateSigningRequest API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the certificates.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.19. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta version of Lease API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the coordination.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.14. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: Beta versions of Ingress API	Migrate manifests and API clients to use the networking.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since Kubernetes version 1.19. For more information, see Kubernetes API and Feature Removals In 1.22: Here’s What You Need To Know{: external}.
Unsupported: IBM Cloud Kubernetes Ingress Controller	As of 1 Jun 2021, the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Ingress Controller is no longer supported on {{site.data.keyword.containerlong_notm}}. Migrate your IBM Cloud Kubernetes Ingress Controller based ALBs to the Kubernetes Ingress Controller.
Ingress	Kubernetes 1.22 supports Ingress and IngressClass resources with networking.k8s.io/v1 version, which is only available on Kubernetes Ingress Controller version 1.0.0 and newer. Kubernetes Ingress Controller version 1.0.0 is supported on {{site.data.keyword.containerlong_notm}} cluster versions 1.19 or newer. \n - Cluster versions 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21: Ingress and IngressClass resources that were created on clusters that run on Kubernetes versions 1.19, 1.20 or 1.21 and Ingress Controller version 1.0.0 are automatically updated during the cluster update to 1.22. The Kubernetes API Server dynamically manages the conversion from the earlier extensions/v1beta1 and networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 Ingresses to the new networking.k8s.io/v1. \n - External Ingress resources: For Ingress resources that are stored outside of Kubernetes clusters, such as in a version control system or any other external storage, the extensions/v1beta1 and networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 descriptors can't be used with Kubernetes 1.22. Convert these descriptors to networking.k8s.io/v1 Ingresses and IngressClasses. \n - If you have ALB auto updates enabled, you don't need to manually update your ALBs. \n - If you have ALB auto updates disabled, you must update your Kubernetes Ingress Controller based ALBs to a supported 0.4.x version before updating to 1.0.0 or newer. To check your auto update settings, run the ibmcloud ks ingress alb autoupdate get command. \n - ALB OAuth-Proxy add-on: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 is compatible with ALB OAuth-Proxy add-on version 2.0.0 only. If you use the ALB OAuth-Proxy add-on you must update the add-on to version 2.0.0 before updating your cluster to 1.22.
Unsupported: Service service.alpha.kubernetes.io/tolerate-unready-endpoints annotation	Services no longer support the service.alpha.kubernetes.io/tolerate-unready-endpoints annotation. The annotation has been deprecated since Kubernetes version 1.11 and has been replaced by the spec.publishNotReadyAddresses field. If your services rely on this annotation, update them to use the spec.publishNotReadyAddresses field instead. For more information on this field, see DNS for Services and Pods{: external}.

Update after master

{: #122_after}

The following table shows the actions that you must take after you update the Kubernetes master. {: shortdesc}

Type	Description
Endpoint Security Mitigation	Kubernetes cluster role system:aggregate-to-edit has removed endpoints permissions as a security mitigation for CVE-2021-25740{: external}. If your cluster does not require any customizations to the system:aggregate-to-edit cluster role, besides removing the endpoints permission, allow Kubernetes to reconcile the permissions by running the kubectl annotate --overwrite clusterrole/system:aggregate-to-edit rbac.authorization.kubernetes.io/autoupdate=true command. Subsequent cluster master operations (for example, ibmcloud ks cluster master refresh) will then ensure the permissions are reconciled by Kubernetes.
Unsupported: kubectl autoscale removes --generator option	The kubectl austoscale no longer uses the deprecated --generator option. If your scripts rely on this option, update them.
Unsupported: kubectl create deployment removes --generator option	The kubectl create deployment command no longer uses the deprecated --generator option. If your scripts rely on this option, update them.
system:aggregate-to-edit write access for Endpoints API	The system:aggregate-to-edit role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. Existing clusters that are upgraded to Kubernetes 1.22 are not impacted. However, in new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the Editor and Administrator roles don't have write access to the Endpoints API. For more information on retaining this access in newly created 1.22 clusters, see Write access for Endpoints{: external}. This update is a mitigation for CVE-2021-25740{: external}.
