|   | Because the Ping Identity Platform is highly customizable, testing all possible upgrade scenarios is challenging. It is your responsibility to validate that these upgrade steps work correctly in a test environment with your customized configuration before you upgrade a production environment. |

Upgrading ForgeOps deployments involves three main sections:

* Upgrading ForgeOps deployment tools from previous releases

  * [Migrate Kustomize overlays to the new format](../../2026.3/upgrade/migrate-forgeops.html).

  * [Migrate from a ForgeOps 7.4 or 7.5 release branch to the 2026.3 tag](../../2026.3/upgrade/mig-74-75.html).

* Upgrading AM, DS, or DS Docker images

  * [Upgrade Ping Advanced Identity Software Docker images to new major or minor version](../../2026.3/upgrade/upgrade-product.html).

  * [Upgrade AM, DS, or DS Docker images to newer patch release](../../2026.3/upgrade/upgrade-patch.html).

* Upgrading Helm charts used in ForgeOps deployment

  * [Upgrade Helm charts](../../2026.3/upgrade/update-helm.html)
