Upgrading

To upgrade your deployment, you must upgrade both the infrastructure components and agents.

The order in which you upgrade components is important. Always upgrade Puppet Server and PuppetDB simultaneously, including the puppetdb-termini package on Puppet Server nodes, and always upgrade them before you upgrade agent nodes. Do not run different major versions on your Puppet primary servers (including Server) and PuppetDB nodes.

Important: Any time the puppet-agent package is updated, make sure to restart the puppetserver service afterward.
Note: These instructions cover upgrades in the versions 5, 6 and 7 series. For instructions on upgrading from version 3.8.x, see previous versions of the documentation.
