Airgapped upgrade guide

Upgrade BugSnag On-premise on a high availability cluster in an airgapped environment.

Upgrading your instance

Before upgrading, ensure you have backups of your current installation. See Backup & Restore guide for more information.

It is not necessary to upgrade notifier libraries used by your applications when upgrading BugSnag On-premise, although sometimes new features will require upgrading notifiers.

Update AWS resources

If you provisioned AWS resources with CloudFormation, you should check you are using the latest CloudFormation template version v1.6.1 before upgrading.
