R82 upgrade for Azure

[Duane_Toler]

Can someone explain the inconsistency with sk177714 (in-place upgrade of an R81.20 SmartCenter in CloudGuard) versus what is actually happening on the server?

The following results are not compatible with the package:

 - Check package compatibility with this version

 - Machine is 'azure' cloud environment

This installation package is not supported on Cloud environments (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Service and Aliyun)

Same thing for the Blink package:

So.... is in-place upgrade supported or not?  As it stands, the DDR policy isn't allowing it.  Any ideas?

Nice. 

Thanks for that.
