About Strict Preflight Checks

If any strict preflight checks are configured, the --skip-preflights flag are not honored because the preflight checks must run and contain no failures before the application is deployed.

When the --deploy option is provided and there are strict preflight checks, the preflight checks always run. The deployment waits for up to 15 minutes for the preflight checks to complete. If the checks complete without strict preflight failures, the release deploys. If the checks do not complete within 15 minutes, the release does not deploy. If there are one or more strict preflight failures, the release does not deploy.

For more information about strict preflight checks, see Defining Preflight Checks.

Example

kubectl kots upstream upgrade kots-sentry --namespace kots-sentry
