# Upgrading on AWS Fargate

*[View on tines.com](https://www.tines.com/docs/self-hosted/upgrade-tines/upgrading-tines-for-aws-fargate/)*

> **NOTE:**
> Self-hosted customers can safely upgrade to any later minor version of the same or the following major version - i.e. from a 7.x.x version to any later 7.x.x version or any 8.x.x version.
> 
> -   Major version upgrades are only supported between consecutive major versions - i.e. while upgrading from any 7.x.x version to any 8.x.x version will work fine, attempting to upgrade directly from 6.x.x to 8.x.x (skipping 7.x.x) will fail.
> -   "Deprecated" versions are found to contain issues. It is recommended that the last patch of the minor version should be used when upgrading.

### Pre-upgrade recommendations

Before upgrading, we advise that you backup your data.

### **Steps to upgrade Tines for a self-hosted AWS Fargate deployment**

Step 1. Obtain the image from either your Docker Hub account or your cloud tenant at `/admin/upgrade`.

Step 2. Unzip/pull the image.

Step 3. Push the image to your ECR repository.

Step 4. Create a new revision using the new image for each of the `tines-app` and `tines-sidekiq` task definitions.

Step 5. Update each of the `tines-app` and `tines-sidekiq` tasks with their new definition. To ensure no interruption to ongoing story runs, we recommend updating `tines-app` first, ensuring its fully deployed and then updating `tines-sidekiq`.

*Step 6. Optional* - Check the logs to ensure the new tasks are running as expected.

*Step 7. Optional* - Navigate to `/version` on your tenant and check that the version is up to date.



### **Upgrading the Redis version**

Tines 14.0 and above requires Redis 6.2 or above, Tines 31.2 recommends using Redis 7.2 or Valkey 7.2 if using AWS Elasticache. If you need to upgrade your Elasticache Redis cluster then please follow the instructions [**here**](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/VersionManagement.html). Note that this will incur downtime to your instance while the cluster is upgraded. All previous Tines installations are compatible with Redis 6.2, so this upgrade can be performed before upgrading to Tines 14.0.
