Before you start the upgrade, identify your Cloud Exchange deployment type so that you follow the right upgrade steps. See How to Identify your Cloud Exchange Deployment Type.
If you upgrade Cloud Exchange as a VM from v5.1.0 or earlier, first upgrade the underlying Ubuntu OS to 22.04(refer to Cloud Exchange KB Articles 20.04 to 22.04) followed by upgrading the Ubuntu OS to 24.04(refer to Cloud Exchange KB Articles 22.04 to 24.04). For a containerized deployment, use the OS versions listed in the Cloud Exchange System Requirements.
- If you run Cloud Exchange v3.x or v4.x, refer to Upgrade Steps for Cloud Exchange v3.x or v4.x Containerized to Cloud Exchange v5.0.1 Containerized in the Cloud Exchange KB Articles.
- If you run Cloud Exchange v5.0.1 in a containerized deployment, refer to Upgrade Steps for Cloud Exchange v5.0.1 or v5.1.0 Containerized to Cloud Exchange v5.1.1 Containerized in the Cloud Exchange KB Articles.
- If you run Cloud Exchange v5.0.1 as a VM, refer to Upgrade Steps for Cloud Exchange v5.0.1 or v5.1.0 VM Standalone Deployment to Cloud Exchange v5.1.1 VM Standalone Deployment in the Cloud Exchange KB Articles.
The Cloud Exchange (CE) will be completely offline and will not function while the upgrade and migration are in progress, so please plan during your scheduled maintenance window.
Choose Your Deployment Type
Each deployment type has its own upgrade page, with the steps for standalone and HA deployments:
- Upgrade Containerized Cloud Exchange: Cloud Exchange installed from the
ta_cloud_exchangerepository on a host that you manage. - Upgrade Cloud Exchange as a VM: Cloud Exchange deployed from a Netskope VM image (OVA, Hyper-V, KVM, AWS, or Azure), installed in
/opt/cloudexchange/cloudexchange.
