The option to enter your own AMI name does not appear when you perform the upgrade
steps in this document unless you meet one of these conditions. Using your own AMI
to upgrade worker executors is error-prone due to EKS version matching requirements, and
therefore not recommended. Cloudera recommends that you upgrade to the recommended EKS
instead of using your own AMI. If you decide to use your own AMI, you must choose the
AMI version that matches the EKS version used by Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW). Using
your own AMI, you can upgrade only to the next minor EKS version, so more than one
upgrade might be required to match the EKS version used by CDW.
If you do not use a
custom AMI in step 4 below, but use reduced permissions, you must upgrade three
times from EKS v1.17 to get to v1.20.
Check that you are using the reduced permissions mode, or that you
have obtained the CDW_CUSTOM_AMI entitlement.
In the CDW service, expand the Environments column by clicking
Moreā¦.
In Environments, click search and locate the environment on AWS
for upgrading the Kubernetes version.
In the environment tile, click options and select Upgrade.
In reduced permissions mode, the option to upgrade using a custom AMI appears:
Select Use custom AMI.
A text box appears for entering the your AMI version.
You can upgrade only to the next minor version for each environment upgrade, for
example from 1.18 to 1.19. For example, to upgrade to EKS 1.20, you must upgrade
three times from EKS 1.17.
Enter an AMI version that is consistent with the CDW upgrade to the EKS
version and region of the activated cluster.
