IOMETE AWS Upgrade

Upgrading the IOMETE platform is a simple process that ensures you're using the latest features and improvements. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps to upgrade your IOMETE installation on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Terraform.

Before proceeding, ensure you have the following:

  1. An active IOMETE account and a working IOMETE installation.
  2. AWS CLI and Terraform (v0.14+) are installed on your local machine. If you need help installing these tools, refer to the IOMETE Installation Guide.
  3. Access to your Terraform configuration files and state files.

Before upgrading, it's essential to back up your Terraform state file. This file contains information about your infrastructure and must be preserved to avoid losing control over your resources. You can either store the state file in a git repository, an S3 bucket, or a local folder.

1. Upgrade to the latest IOMETE Terraform module​

Review the IOMETE Changelog to learn about the new features, improvements, and bug fixes in the latest version. Understanding the changes will help you prepare for potential impacts on your existing infrastructure or custom configurations.

From the changelog, obtain the latest Terraform module. Replace the existing customer-stack module in your Terraform configuration with the new version.

module "customer-stack" {
  source  = "iomete/customer-stack/aws"
  version = "X.Y.Z" # example: 1.3.0
  ...
}

Replace X.Y.Z with the latest version number provided by IOMETE.

2. Review and apply the changes​

Before applying the changes, it's a good idea to run terraform plan to review any modifications to your infrastructure.

terraform init --upgrade
terraform plan

If the plan output looks correct, proceed with the upgrade by running the terraform apply command.

terraform apply

Terraform will update the IOMETE platform resources on your AWS account, and the process may take several minutes to complete. Once it's finished, your IOMETE platform will be upgraded to the latest version.

4. Verify the upgrade​

After the upgrade is complete, verify that everything is running smoothly. Access the IOMETE Console and ensure all your data and configurations are intact. Additionally, perform some basic operations like running queries or creating new resources to confirm that the platform is functioning correctly.

That's it 🎉🎉🎉
