# 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:

* Upgrade ForgeOps deployment from 2025.1

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

  * [Migrate secrets to Secret Generator](../preview/migrate-to-secgen.html) - **Currently in Technology Preview**

* Upgrade Ping Identity Platform Docker images

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

  * [Upgrade Ping Identity Platform Docker image to new patch release](upgrade-patch.html).

* Upgrade from previous ForgeOps releases

  * [Migrate Kustomize configurations](migrate-forgeops.html).

  * [Migrate from a ForgeOps 7.4 or 7.5 release branch to the 2026.1 tag](mig-74-75.html).
