Upgrading
To upgrade your Puppet Enterprise deployment, you must upgrade both the infrastructure components and agents.
CAUTION:
Major primary server OS upgrades (such as Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04) require Backing up and restoring PE.
Major agent OS upgrades require reinstalling the puppet-agent
package (as explained in Installing agents) and reinstalling any Ruby plugins/gems that were added at /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem
.

Upgrading Puppet Enterprise
Upgrade your PE installation as new versions become available. -
Upgrading agents
Upgrade your agents as new versions of Puppet Enterprise (PE) become available. Thepuppet_agent
module helps automate upgrades, and provides the safest upgrade. Alternatively, you can use a script to upgrade individual nodes.
