Upgrading

This section explains how to upgrade Terraform Enterprise to a new version. Learn more about availability during upgrades here.

Before Upgrade

We strongly recommend the following:

• Create a backup copy of the storage prior to upgrading your instance. Backup and restore responsibility varies depending on your Terraform Enterprise operation mode.
• Review the general Terraform Enterprise requirements, including credentials, hardware, operating system, data storage, and network.
• Review the upgrade requirements and release notes for the specific Terraform Enterprise release.
