仅需4步，轻松升级K3s集群！

Rancher 2.4是Rancher目前最新的版本，在这一版本中你可以通过Rancher UI对K3s集群进行升级管理。

K3s是一个轻量级Kubernetes发行版，借助它你可以几分钟之内设置你的开发Kubernetes环境。它非常适用于生产用例，主要用于IoT和Edge设备。

在Rancher 2.4中，你可以导入K3s集群并且可以通过Rancher本身对其进行升级管理。在本篇教程中，我们将了解如何在一个正在运行的K3s集群上执行实时升级。

Step1：创建K3s集群

在执行升级之前，我们需要启动一个K3s集群。在本文中我是在一个CentOS VM上启动的，你可以在任意云上执行这一操作。

登录到VM，并运行以下命令：


**[root@demo3 ~]# curl -sfL [https://get.k3s.io](https://get.k3s.io) | INSTALL_K3S_VERSION="v1.0.1" sh -s -**

[INFO]  Using v1.0.1 as release
[INFO]  Downloading hash [https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases/download/v1.0.1/sha256sum-amd64.txt](https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases/download/v1.0.1/sha256sum-amd64.txt)
[INFO]  Downloading binary [https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases/download/v1.0.1/k3s](https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases/download/v1.0.1/k3s)

[INFO]  systemd: Creating service file /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service
[INFO]  systemd: Enabling k3s unit
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/k3s.service to /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service.
[INFO]  systemd: Starting k3sAbove will install k3s version

**[root@demo3 ~]# kubectl get  nodes**

NAME    STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
demo3   Ready    master   5m55s   **v1.16.3-k3s.2**

你可以看到我们在VM上已经安装了Kubernetes v1.16.3。

Step2：安装Rancher

为了从Rancher UI中执行升级，必须通过以下命令安装Rancher：

**[root@demo3 ~]# sudo docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 80:80 -p 443:443 rancher/rancher
**Unable to find image 'rancher/rancher:latest' locally

Step3：在Rancher中导入集群

打开Rancher UI并点击以下按钮导入K3s集群：

复制最后一条命令并在安装了K3s的VM上运行该命令：

**[root@demo3 ~]# curl --insecure -sfL [https://185.136.232.236/v3/import/pxv5g7xswnnqkhl4dx7nrn8swndwshk9g8426lnldrvt7vjvfc2fgr.yaml](https://185.136.232.236/v3/import/pxv5g7xswnnqkhl4dx7nrn8swndwshk9g8426lnldrvt7vjvfc2fgr.yaml) | kubectl apply -f -**
