This guide discusses how to upgrade Validio in a self-managed VPC deployment. For installation instructions, refer to VPC Deployment Installation.

Before you Upgrade

When upgrading the Validio version in your VPC deployment, you should:

Always take a backup immediately before you upgrade. A restore from that backup is the only supported way to recover from a failed upgrade. Refer to Backing up VPC Deployments.
Always upgrade one major version at a time to ensure that the migrations succeed. For example, you should upgrade from 6.x --> 7.x, but not 5.x --> 7.x. For a list of major Validio versions, refer to the Platform Requirements guide.
Ensure that you use the correct validio-values.yaml file when upgrading Validio. Otherwise, you risk changing your configuration.
Ensure that you are running compatible versions of the platform and SDK. Refer to the Platform and SDK Compatibility table.

🚧
Rollback is not supported
Upgrades are one-way. Once you have upgraded, returning to an earlier Validio version is not supported, and you should not attempt a Helm rollback.
To recover from a failed upgrade, restore the backup you took before the upgrade, into the same Validio version that the backup was taken at. Refer to Backing up VPC Deployments.

Upgrade your Validio Version

Use the following command to upgrade Validio:

helm upgrade validio oci://europe-docker.pkg.dev/validio-platform-prod/charts/validio --version [your-validio-version] --namespace validio --values validio-values.yaml
