Hi everyone,

I’ll plan to update awx-operator to the newest version (my actually version is: 1.4.0/21.14.0).  
Apparently we don’t have to delete the old version anymore (according to the doc).  
Is this really the case?  
Is there anything to be careful of?

Best regards, H

Hi,

I used the falg to update automatically, when helm chart is updated.

My suggestion is to have a postgres backup before migration, and operator can do that in easy way.

Hi,  
Thank you… sure, I’ll do a backup before upgrading
