Upgrade and Migration Overview

This section provides the conceptual and procedural details for upgrading your ForgeOps deployment environment or migrating utilities therein.

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.
Migrate from a ForgeOps 7.4 or 7.5 release branch to the 2025.1.x tag.

Upgrading AM, DS, or DS Docker images

Upgrade the platform product Docker images to a new major or minor version.
Upgrade AM, DS, or DS Docker images to newer patch release.
