Upgrade major version

When the OpenSearch instance was created, it was set up with the major version that was current at the time. You can upgrade the OpenSearch instance to a newer major version via Nais Console.

Downgrading to an older major version is not supported.

Prerequisites

• You've previously created an OpenSearch instance using Nais Console
  • If you created your OpenSearch instance using the legacy method, see Migrate opensearch management to Console.

7. Confirm by clicking the Save changes button

The upgrade process will take a few minutes. The Status column will show you the current state.
