ACE Upgrade

Site administrators can upgrade the AppsCode Enterprise (ACE) management cluster directly from the platform UI by uploading a configuration file downloaded from the AppsCode portal.

Prerequisites

Before starting the upgrade, download the required values file from the AppsCode portal:

1. Log in to appscode.com and switch to your organization.
2. Locate the installer currently in use and click View Details, then select Upgrade.
3. Click Download to save the archive to your local machine. It contains the values.yaml file needed for the upgrade.

Step 1 — Open ACE Upgrade

Go to SITE ADMINISTRATION > ACE Upgrade from the left-hand menu.

The page displays the current ACE version and the upgrade status of all platform components. Click the Upgrade Version button at the top right to begin.

Step 2 — Upload the Values File

On the Upgrade ACE screen:

• Click Upload values file… and select the values.yaml file downloaded from the AppsCode portal.
• Click Update Version to start the upgrade process.

Step 3 — Monitor Upgrade Progress

The platform will upgrade individual components one by one. You can track progress directly on this page:

• Components currently being updated show a refresh icon.
• Completed components show a green checkmark.
• The overall status displays as Progressing while the upgrade is running.

Step 4 — Verify Completion

Once all components have been updated, the status changes to Updated. Confirm that the new version number is correctly reflected at the top of the page.
