Promote Rollout without Kubectl Plugin

[seanwalker909]

Hi is there anyway to 'promote' a rollout without the kubectl plugin? For example using kubectl apply or patch? Also is there a way cancel rollouts without the plugin?
Thanks!

You can do this with a patch command it's something like:

(Assuming you have 10 steps)

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/status/currentStepIndex",
        "value": 9
    },
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/status/pauseConditions",
        "value": {}
    }
]

The abort patch should be something like:

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "/status/abort",
        "value": true
    }
]

NOTE: that on the latest version you will need to patch against the /status endpoint due to the CRD using subresources. I believe this is not current supported with kubectl see kubernetes/kubernetes#67455. Therefore it would need to be a HTTP PATCH or using one of the Kubernetes client libraries which supports this.
