You can upgrade your Ansible Automation Platform installation from version 2.4 or 2.5 to 2.6 using the supported upgrade paths. Review the available upgrade paths and required steps to ensure a successful upgrade of your Ansible Automation Platform environment.

Important

Upgrade from Event-Driven Ansible 2.5 to 2.6 is supported; however, upgrade from Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 to 2.6 is not supported. If you are upgrading from Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 to 2.6 and you have deployed Event-Driven Ansible, you must first remove the Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 database and then upgrade your platform to 2.6. 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.
