Upgrading Anchore Enterprise
Anchore Enterprise supports two kinds of upgrade, and the right procedure depends on the version you are running today. Upgrades between releases within the same major version are routine and are normally handled by your deployment tooling. Moving between major versions, such as from v5.x to v6.x, is a migration that involves breaking changes, database changes, and planned downtime.
Find Your Current Version
Run the anchorectl system status command and review the CODE VERSION column, which displays the running version of each service. You can also log in to the Anchore Enterprise GUI and find the version details in the top bar.
Choose Your Upgrade Path
Already on v6.x? Feature and patch upgrades within v6.x, for example v6.1 to v6.2 or v6.1.0 to v6.1.1, follow the standard procedures in Routine Upgrades (v6.x).
On v5.x or earlier? Moving to v6.x crosses a major version boundary and includes an automatic data migration. Plan a maintenance window and follow the v5.x → v6.x Migration Guide. For all major-version migrations, including v4.x → v5.x, see Major Upgrades (v5.x → v6.x).
