How to Upgrade
Starting with AAP 2.2, the database was upgraded to PostgreSQL 13. It is recommended to take a backup of your deployment before upgrading.
To take a backup, create AutomationControllerBackup and AutomationHubBackup objects for your deployments.
When you are ready to upgrade to the next major or minor version, you can do so by changing the channel.
Note: Namespace-scoped and Cluster-scoped deployments are not compatible.
If you originally installed the AAP Operator from the stable-2.1 channel for example, you will want to upgrade to the next minor version by selecting the stable-2.2 channel.
