Looking for a sk or procedure to upgrade cloudguard firewalls in AWS and Azure

[Blason_R]

Hi Team,

I am looking for a sk or document to upgrade the cloudguard firewalls from R80.30 to R81 in Azure as well as AWS.

Can someone please point me?

TIA

Gateway - sk177714 (AWS, Azure coming soon).

Has anyone tried upgrading firewalls in Azure? I wanted to upgrade the firewalls in Azure.

Typically in public cloud the approach until now has been to deploy new gateways and move the traffic. Refer sk173635 / sk162365

As indicated above IPU functionality is also coming soon for Azure Gateways.

Thanks for the SK reference @Chris_Atkinson 

Is there an ETA on the IPU functionality for Azure gateways? 

It's unfortunate an IPU path for versions < R80.30 aren't supported.
We have a few AWS and Azure Cloudguard gateways on <= R80.10 that we need to upgrade.

@Blason_R for pre-r80.30 gateways, see the following links for deploying new single gateways and moving traffic

There are some differences between CloudGuard R80.30+ and earlier versions that make an in-place upgrade not feasible (specifically differences in kernel version and filesystem used).
