I can't seem to find any instructions on how to upgrade our servers. In particular for upgrading Enterprise instances from AWS Marketplace.
Thanks

Hi Robert Berger,
We haven't updated AWS marketplace images yet. After doing it you will get an email from AWS. It should include upgrade info.



PS : Free or Paid one-on-one support and consultancy for your streaming project, please book at https://calendly.com/antmedia/
