`kops update cluster` returns multiple will create/modify resources

8/13/2021

I have a Kubernetes cluster that uses 1.17.17. I want to increase the CPU/RAM of a node using KOPS. When running kops update cluster command, I expect it would return the preview of my old instance type VS new instance type.

However, it returns a long line of will create resources/will modify resources.

I want to know why it shows a long log of changes it will execute instead of showing only the changes I made for instance type. Also, if this is safe to apply the changes. enter image description here

After you will do that cluster update you are going to do rolling update on that cluster. The nodes will be terminated one by one and the new ones are going to show. Also while one node is going down to be replaced with the new one the services inside that node are going to be shifted on that one . Small tip remove all poddistributionbudgets. Also the log is fine dont worry.
