There is no magic here. Customers need to export current configurations and apply to a new running instance by themselves. It would take a bit of work but we really recommended to do. if customers do not want to lose any caching data or configurations. (You will lose all in-memory caching data anyhow.)
This guideline could be used as a backup guideline for interested customers.
Good news is, recently, we have implemented a robust solution for upgrading the products by simply running YUM
or APT
package managers. This solution is only for Varnish Custom Statistics (VCS) and Varnish Enterprise customers. Varnish Cache customers still need to export configurations by themselves.
Varnish Custom Statistics (VCS), Varnish Enterprise and Varnish Enterprise customers, we encouraged you to register for support and software update at: [https://info.varnish-software.com/varnish-plus-cloud-support]
Once you are registered and a welcome email does not contain upgrade instructions, please contact Varnish Software The Cloud Team to obtain a Master token
and instructions how to setup a software repository.
