[00:00] In this lesson, I'll demonstrate how to upgrade Cloud Edition when it's running in an AWS EC2 instance. I currently have version 8.1.27 installed, and I wanna upgrade it to the most recent 8.1.29 nightly. The first thing I'll need to do is connect to my EC2 instance. Before I can do that, I need to make sure that I have my SSH port exposed. I can find this out by navigating to my instance's security page and scrolling down to the inbound rules. As of now, I only have port 80 and 443 exposed, so I'll click my security group to configure it, and then I'll click edit inbound rules. I'll click add rule and then select SSH from the type dropdown. For the source, I'll choose anywhere IPv4, but you can specify custom IP addresses or ranges on your end to be more secure, and I strongly recommend doing so. Once my rule is set up, I'll click save rules.

[01:04] Now I can head back to my EC2 instance and select my Cloud Edition instance, and once it's selected, I'll click connect. There are multiple options for connecting, but I'm going to use the EC2 Instance Connect and click connect. This should open up a new tab with a terminal connected to my instance. Next, I'll head over to the Inductive Automation downloads page. I'll click other operating systems and versions. I'll change the version to the 8.1.29 nightly. And next I'll scroll down to the Linux installers. I want this 64-bit Ignition cloud installer for Linux, so I'm going to right click it and click copy link address. Now I'll go back to my instance connect tab, and I can download the installer to my instance. To do this, I'll use the wget command, and then I'll right click and paste to input the link to the installer. Now I can hit enter and it will start downloading. Once it's finished downloading, I'll type "ls" to make sure that the installer is here, and now I need to make the installer executable, and I can do that by typing "chmod+x" and then the file name. If I type "ls", again, it should show up in a different color to signify that it's executable, and now we can run it.

[02:38] Throughout this process, you may be asked a couple questions about modules and the install location, and when that happens, you can type in your answers and hit enter. Once it's finished upgrading, it'll ask me if I wanna start Ignition and I'll hit "Y" and hit enter.

[03:15] Then I'll say, yes, I want to install the service, and the gateway will start. Once the installation is complete, I'll refresh my Gateway webpage. Then I can head to the status page and see that I'm now running a dev version and the upgrade is complete.
