Upgrade your deployment or cluster

Elastic Stack ECE ECK Elastic Cloud Hosted Self Managed

When upgrading an existing cluster, you perform a minor or major upgrade. For example, a minor upgrade takes you from version 9.0.0 to 9.1.0, while a major upgrade takes you from version 8.0.0 to 9.0.0.

Upgrade procedures depend on whether you installed Elastic components using Elastic-managed or self-managed infrastructure.

If you’re using Elastic-managed infrastructure, use the following options:

• Upgrade on Elastic Cloud Hosted
• Upgrade on Elastic Cloud Serverless, which is automatically performed by Elastic and requires no user management

If you’re using self-managed infrastructure - either on-prem or public cloud - use the following options:

• Upgrade the Elastic Stack on a self-managed cluster
• Upgrade on Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE)
• Upgrade on Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK)
