Hi,

R80.10 is now available in Azure.

There is currently a single marketplace listing:

https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/checkpoint.vsec?tab=Overview

With 4 deployment options (and a test drive):

A customer gets to select the version (R77.30/R80.10):

And the license:

Happy Installing

Unfortunately the upgrade process for Azure doesn't seem to be documented. At least everything recommended in R80.10 installation guide didn't work.

In general, an in-place upgrade is not the correct approach in Azure or AWS.

You're supposed to redeploy the gateway with the new version rather than try and upgrade (which isn't necessarily supported, or the recommended approach).

On the management side, you should do a migrate export/migrate import.

Please provide the exact steps you tried and the results they provided.

We have a HA cluster R77.30, a standalone R77.30 and R80 management server. All 4 VMs are in Azure.

First of all I tried to upgrade the management server. I created a snapshot and R80 migrate export.

I could redeploy the management server with R80.10, however, I wasn't sure I could recover all the settings/policies using R80 snapshot or migrate import.

I tried to use other migrate export tools: R77.x to R80.10 and R80.10 to R80.10. However, I got an error that I couldn't use those tools because I use R80.

There's no migrate tool from R80 to R80.10.

The only way to upgrade R80 to R80.10 in general is to use CPUSE.

However, CPUSE isn't supported in Azure.

There are several scripts in https://community.checkpoint.com/community/developers?sr=search&searchId=a3dc4812-7a74-47bc-ae4b-9192e6e21ad9&searchIndex=1‌ that can be used to migrate the configuration from R80 to R80.10.

Couple examples:

R80.10 AutoScale deployment still only lets you deploy R77.30. When will R80.10 be available for the auto scale set deployment?

When we release the images that support it

I know it is in process, but do not know the exact timeframes.
