We release versions of Kion with new features and changes on a regular cadence and post the detailed release notes to the Kion Support Center.
Here are the steps you’ll take to upgrade Kion and take advantage of new features:
- View the release notes at support.kion.io find the files associated with your target release version.
- Download the YAML file for the release.
- Navigate to the account where Kion is deployed.
- Once logged in, navigate to the Cloud Formation service and locate the Kion app stack.
- Click Update and then select Replace Current Template.
- Upload the Cloud Formation Template you downloaded from the Kion Support Center, and select Next.
- You won't need to change any of the values unless there are new fields available which will be specifically called out in the version release notes. Select Next.
- At the bottom of the review screen, don't forget to acknowledge that AWS Cloud Formation might create IAM resources.
- Click Submit.
The upgrade will perform a rolling update on the application in about 5 minutes.
After upgrading, you'll see a notification of the upgrade and a prompt to refresh the page.
