Description

In tethered mode all the configuration information is available on the Cloud Area and all ML clusters syncing the same area have the same config data.

Issue/Introduction

This article will provide inputs to upgrade to latest Mashery Local cluster in Tethered mode

Environment

All Supported Platforms

Resolution

Here is a sequence of steps that can be tried:
- run a separate ML cluster, with the latest version.
- test and run sanity checks
- and then open it up for actual traffic
- then decommission the ML cluster running the older version.

> This way the older ML cluster is still available, to fallback on, in case of issues.
> The steps would be the same when upgrading from ML4.x to ML5.x; as ML4.x is inherently tethered.
> The new cluster could use the same momKey/Secret, if eventually the old cluster will be decommissioned.
