Details

Upgrade a machine’s operating system release.

upgrade-machine allows users to perform a managed upgrade of the operating system release of a machine using a base. This command is performed in two steps; prepare and complete.

The “prepare” step notifies Juju that a base upgrade is taking place for a given machine and as such Juju guards that machine against operations that would interfere with the upgrade process. A base can be specified using the OS name and the version of the OS, separated by @.

The “complete” step notifies juju that the managed upgrade has been successfully completed.

It should be noted that once the prepare command is issued there is no way to cancel or abort the process. Once you commit to prepare you must complete the process or you will end up with an unusable machine!

The requested base must be explicitly supported by all charms deployed to the specified machine. To override this constraint the --force option may be used.

The --force option should be used with caution since using a charm on a machine running an unsupported base may cause unexpected behavior. Alternately, if the requested base is supported in later revisions of the charm, upgrade-charm can run beforehand.
