Install OpenKruise in KubeSphere by generating and applying an InstallPlan manifest via kubectl or the KS API, aligning the extension version with the OpenKruise runtime across host and member clusters. This ensures correct version mapping and deployment.

Use SidecarSet manifests for sidecar injection and rolling updates, and CloneSet manifests for advanced workloads with in-place updates and batch rollouts. These OpenKruise CRDs provide enhanced lifecycle management beyond standard Kubernetes deployments.

KubeSphere OpenKruise management supports troubleshooting by querying extension status, CRDs, Pods, and logs. It helps diagnose Kubernetes webhook and runtime issues across clusters to ensure OpenKruise extensions function correctly.

Uninstall the OpenKruise extension through the management workflow and follow safe cleanup guidance for resource migration and CRD handling. This prevents drift and ensures leftover resources are properly removed from host and member clusters.

Manage OpenKruise extension upgrades through the KubeSphere API or kubectl by generating an updated InstallPlan. This workflow ensures correct version mapping between the KubeSphere extension and the OpenKruise runtime during the upgrade process.

Aligning the KubeSphere extension version with the OpenKruise runtime version is required to ensure compatibility and proper lifecycle operations. Version mapping prevents management drift and maintains stable operation across host and member clusters.
