Upgrading container deployments

You can perform a major version upgrade or apply a minor version update to your container deployments.

Performing a major version upgrade
You can upgrade your container deployments to the latest version by deploying new versions of the container images.
Performing a minor version update
Updates to container deployments are delivered as interim fixes.
Migrating to V5.5.4 with operators
Because of a change in container deployment method, an upgrade to V5.5.4 is not available. Instead, you deploy the new version and designate your existing data and configuration settings.
Migrating to V5.5.5 and later with operators
A change in the container deployment method, or an upgrade from a version older than N-1, or a rollback from a newer release to an older release prevents an in-place upgrade. Instead, you deploy the new version and designate your existing data and configuration settings.
