How to upgrade the Fortify Package chart📜
BigBang makes modifications to the upstream helm chart. The full list of changes is at the end of this document.
Notes:
-
This is the Fortify Software Security Center (SSC). You can find additional info on the official Fortify SSC documentation.
-
In the context of this document and repo Fortify and Fortify SSC are often used interchangeably.
- Find the current and latest release notes from the documentation. Be aware of changes that are included in the upgrade. Take note of any manual upgrade steps that customers might need to perform, if any.
- Do diff of upstream chart between old and new release tags to become aware of any significant chart changes. A graphical diff tool such as Meld is useful. You can see where the current helm chart came from by inspecting
/chart/kptfile
or for an easier way to see the changes skip forward to the KPT instructions. - Create a development branch and merge request from the Gitlab issue.
- Merge/Sync the new helm chart with the existing Fortify package code. A graphical diff tool like Meld is useful. Reference the “Modifications made to upstream chart” section below. Be careful not to overwrite Big Bang Package changes that need to be kept. Note that some files will have combinations of changes that you will overwrite and changes that you keep. Stay alert. The hardest file to update is the
/chart/values.yaml
because the changes are many and complicated.- An easy way to do this is with KPT
kpt pkg update chart --strategy force-delete-replace
- Then to reduce the number of changes you have to work through run the following:
git checkout chart/templates/bigbang/ git checkout chart/tests/ git checkout chart/templates/tests/ git checkout chart/charts/ git checkout chart/Chart.lock git checkout chart/requirements.yaml git checkout chart/templates/script-configmap.yaml git checkout chart/templates/secrets.yaml git checkout chart/templates/tomcat-configmap.yaml
- An easy way to do this is with KPT
- In
/chart/requirements.yaml
update the gluon library to the latest version. - Run a helm dependency command to update the chart/charts/*.tgz archives and create a new requirements.lock file. You will commit the tar archives along with the requirements.lock that was generated.
helm dependency update ./chart
- In
/chart/values.yaml
update image.tag to the new version. Renovate might have arleady done this for you. - Update /CHANGELOG.md with an entry for “upgrade Fortify to app version X.X.X chart version X.X.X-bb.X”. Or, whatever description is appropriate.
- Update the /README.md following the gluon library script
- Update /chart/Chart.yaml to the appropriate versions. The annotation version should match the
appVersion
.version: X.X.X-bb.X appVersion: X.X.X.X annotations: bigbang.dev/applicationVersions: | - Fortify: 23.1.2.0005
- Update /chart/Chart.yaml
annotations."helm.sh/images"
section to fix references to updated packages (if needed) - Use a development environment to deploy and test Fortify. See more detailed testing instructions below. Also test an upgrade by deploying the old version first and then deploying the new version.
- When the Package pipeline runs expect the cypress tests to fail due to UI changes.
- Update the /README.md again if you have made any additional changes during the upgrade/testing process.
Testing a new Fortify version📜
- Create a k8s dev environment. One option is to use the Big Bang k3d-dev.sh with no arguments which will give you the default configuration. The following steps assume you are using the script.
- Follow the instructions at the end of the script to connect to the k8s cluster and install flux.
- Deploy Fortify with these dev values overrides. Core apps are disabled for quick deployment.

- Access Fortify UI from a browser (whatever you put in your hosts file) and login with

- You should get asked for a license which we don’t have.
