Hi,
We have Vertica cluster 7.1.1-10 on AWS and we want to upgrade our environment.
I have some questions:
- To which version is best to upgrade? I thought to 7.2 (and not 7.2.3), I want to install a stable version.
- What are the most significant upgrade?
- Any tips for upgrading? (what to check before? what to pay attention? backward compatibility)
Thanks

Hi,
The most stable version of Vertica, prior to release 8.0, is Vertica 7.2.3-8. This is the version you will get if you download Vertica 7.2.x from http://my.vertica.com. You can jump directly from 7.1.1-10 to 7.2.3-8.
This is the required upgrade path:
