# OpenSearch - Upgrade

## **Upgrade Process**

## **PaaS upgrade workflow** <a href="#opensearchupgradeinplace-opensearchpaasupgrade" id="opensearchupgradeinplace-opensearchpaasupgrade"></a>

### Request <a href="#opensearchupgradeinplace-request" id="opensearchupgradeinplace-request"></a>

The update of an OpenSearch PaaS can be done in self-service on the OpenSearch cluster's resource page in [ITCare](https://itcare.cegedim.cloud)

It is recommended that you upgrade your non-production environments first in order to estimate the downtime generated by the operation and to test your applications using the new version.

### Process <a href="#opensearchupgradeinplace-process" id="opensearchupgradeinplace-process"></a>

The upgrade of an OpenSearch deployment takes place in two fully automated steps:

* Update the Operating system first if required
* The upgrade is performed **node by node** to ensure service continuity.

### Impacts

When upgrading OpenSearch, anticipate the following potential impacts:

* Data write might slow down
* Temporarily reduced performance
* Dashboard's page reload may be needed

### Time references <a href="#opensearchupgradeinplace-timereferences" id="opensearchupgradeinplace-timereferences"></a>

As an average guideline, durations for each steps of an upgrade in place of a 100 GB cluster :

* Debian upgrade: 10 minutes on average
* Backup: 5 minutes on average
* OpenSearch upgrade : 15 minutes on average
* Dashboard upgrade : 10 minutes on average
* Automatic validation tests : 15 minutes on average

These times are indicative and may vary depending on specific cluster configurations.
