Note:
This information applies to upgrading an configured on an ArcGIS Video Server site configured on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance separate from other ArcGIS Enterprise components.
How you upgrade depends on how you created the ArcGIS Video Server site on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Any ArcGIS Video Server site on AWS can be upgraded using a manual upgrade procedure.
- If you created the ArcGIS Video Server site using the 11.5 Esri CloudFormation template, you can use the corresponding 12.0 CloudFormation template to upgrade it.
Before you upgrade
Regardless of the upgrade method you use, review the following information before you upgrade the deployment:
- You must obtain a new license file to upgrade to 12.0.
- Make a backup of the ArcGIS Video Server site before upgrading.
- You must upgrade the ArcGIS Enterprise portal with which ArcGIS Video Server is federated before upgrading the ArcGIS Video Server site.
Upgrade using manual upgrade procedures
The manual upgrade procedure for an ArcGIS Video Server site on AWS is similar to upgrading one on-premises. Therefore, follow instructions in the ArcGIS Video Server installation guide to upgrade the site. Read the instructions specific to the operating system on your EC2 instance:
Upgrade using a CloudFormation template
If you used a deployment CloudFormation template provided by Esri (arcgis-video-server-singlemachine.template.json) to create an ArcGIS Video Server site, you can use the corresponding 12.0 upgrade template (arcgis-video-server-singlemachine-upgrade.template.json) to upgrade it. See Upgrade a single-machine ArcGIS Video Server site using CloudFormation for instructions to use the upgrade template.
