downtime while the new version is deployed:

Delete the existing job using:

Then patch the migration with the migrations up command:

---
apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: kong-migrations
  namespace: kong
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: kong-migrations
          command: [ "/bin/sh", "-c", "kong migrations up" ]
      restartPolicy: OnFailure

Apply the new updated manifests and wait for the job to complete.

Then delete the old kong-migrations job:

kubectl delete job kong-migrations

Now patch the migration with the migrations finish command:
