Important

Upgrading from Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 is not supported. If you are upgrading from Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 to 2.5 and you have deployed Event-Driven Ansible, you must first remove the Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 database and then upgrade your platform to 2.5. For information about the procedure, see Removing Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 database.

Before beginning your upgrade be sure to review the prerequisites and upgrade planning sections of this guide.
