I am new to Kubernetes and kops. I am experimenting and modifying my test cluster a lot.
My problem is that updating the cluster takes forever. For now I am doing:
kops edit cluster test-cluster.k8s.local
# changing some stuff then:
kops update cluster test-cluster.k8s.local --yesThis triggers a rolling update, which takes too long.
I end up destroying and rebuilding the cluster every time as it is faster.
I am wondering if there's a "non-rolling" way to update the cluster, sacrificing availability for speed?
If you use a deployment object for deploying your pods, you can try Recreate strategy in your deployment yaml.
