We can choose concurrent compilation, which will start 4 processes to compile.

If that is not fast enough, you can modify the installer to specify a larger concurrency, but not larger than 8, e.g.

sudo /bin/bash utils/parallel-recompile.sh 8

# 4. Downgrade Edge Node

# 4.1 Migrate traffic(optional)

To avoid disrupting operations, before a Edge Node is upgraded, migrate the traffic on that Edge Node to another Edge Node that is not upgraded. This step is optional, but is highly recommended for the few Edge Nodes that are initially upgraded.

• migrate away traffic
• Upgrade
• Verify

After it is OK, upgrade the remaining Edge Node without migrating traffic. Also, please pay attention to the error logs during the upgrade process.

If you are using the OpenResty Edge’s DNS to control traffic, follow these steps to migrate traffic.

Access the OpenResty Edge console:

• Enter the [Gateway Clusters].
• [Edit] The cluster where the node is located.
• Modify the node’s [status] to [Disable DNS, disable caching cluster].
• [Save]

Wait for the node no longer to have traffic or only a small amount of traffic. You could confirm by checking the access log:

tail -f /usr/local/oredge-node/logs/access.log
