Hai Guys,

How should I go about upgrading my AWX-operator from version 0.11.0 to version 2.8.0 on Kubernetes, considering I have a stateful PostgreSQL configuration. I’m seeking steps for the upgrade process that include preserving all the existing data. Despite my search, I haven’t found valuable insights in wikis or blogs regarding AWX specific upgrade. Can you provide guidance or direct me to a reliable resource?

Thank you in Advance!!

Hello @chandruv21 welcome to the Community!

I believe this is what you’re looking for:

[https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/upgrade/upgrading.html](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/upgrade/upgrading.html)

Just be aware of these [considerations](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/upgrade/upgrading.html#cluster-scope-to-namespace-scope-considerations), since you’re on a version previous to v0.14.0:

> Starting with awx-operator 0.14.0, AWX can only be deployed in the namespace that the operator exists in. This is called a namespace-scoped operator. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you will want to delete your existing `awx-operator` service account, role and role binding.

Hope it helps
