cloudstack 4.5.2 upgrade best practices
Hello guys,
I'm having some doubts and questions about which is the best way to
upgrade our current Cloudstack platform, to a newer and better one (bug
fixes, new features, etc...)
I would like to know about the known issues and troubles that we can be
exposed during the upgrade process, and the most important thing for me
if there's any version better to avoid in our case.
We currently have a 4 x hipervisors cluster with "VMWare ESXi 5.5.0" and
"Cloudstack 4.5.2" installed on them.
In addition, i saw it should be done in two steps and same procedure
twice, first moving from 4.5.2 to 4.6 and then 4.6 to 4.7, i found the
upgrade documentation here:
Upgrade to 4.6
<http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.6.0/upgrade/upgrade-4.5.html>
Upgrade to 4.7
<http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.7.0/upgrade/upgrade-4.6.html>
Could you help me on it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Marc,
The ACS community strives to make every release stable. Since every company has their own unique feature requirements, it's important (as Dag pointed out) for each organization to lab up any upgrade and test the features you're using to make sure the release works as you expect.
Currently supported releases are 4.7.x, 4.8.x and 4.9.x. 4.7.x will be dropped once 4.10 is released. Here at ENA, we're running our own 4.8.2 release.
- Si

Good afternoon Dag Sonstebo,
Thanks for that quick answer, as an extra question about it, do you know
which is the best version to upgrade in our case with our current
Cloudstack version (4.5.2)? And also is there's any version which is not
worth to go due to known issues, and better for us to avoid?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards

Hi Marc,
You don’t have to upgrade to each minor version – in other words you only need to carry out one upgrade to your target version. In general we advise our customers to test the upgrade in a non-production environment to ensure everything works OK.
Regards,
Dag Sonstebo
