The process of updating ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes provides an organization with the latest available software, ensuring its security, reliability, and performance. Updates are cumulative, meaning each update builds on the previous update. Consequently, you cannot skip one update to apply a subsequent update. When you update the organization, earlier updates that were not applied are automatically applied at that time. In addition, if you remove an update, later updates that were applied are also removed.
Tip:
Make a backup of your organization before applying updates.Apply an update
When a software update is available to your organization, it appears on the Software updates page in ArcGIS Enterprise Manager. Regularly check for new updates. It's recommended that you apply updates as soon as they are available.
The Software updates page contains the following tabs that represent the status of new updates, those that have been applied, and the history of those that have been applied or rolled back:
- Updates—Newly available updates that aren't yet applied to your organization.
- Applied—Updates your organization has applied. You can manually remove an update on this tab.
- History—Software update opportunities your organization has taken, including applied or rolled-back patches and applied upgrades.
If you used your organization's container registry when deploying ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes, you must copy the required container images from the Esri repository to your registry before running the update or upgrade. If your organization is in a disconnected environment, follow the steps to apply an upgrade or update in disconnected environments.
To apply an update, follow these steps:
- Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Manager as an administrator.
- At the bottom of the navigation sidebar, click the Updates button.
The Software updates page appears.
- Click Apply updates to update your organization.
The most recent update will be applied. The container images for that update will include all previous updates.
- Click Confirm to begin the update process.
Detailed status updates are shown on the dialog box until the update is complete.
- Clear your browser's cache (including cookies).
Information in the cache from the previous version of the website may cause the updated organization to display incorrectly, and you may not be able to sign in. It's recommended that you clear the cache on all browsers that will view the updated organization (including ArcGIS Enterprise Manager and your ArcGIS Enterprise portal).

If you encounter a failure while performing an update, review tips for troubleshooting.
Revert your organization to a previous version
Ensuring a safe rollback is critical to update operations. At this release, if an update fails, the software returns to its previous version. If you need to manually remove an update, follow these steps:
- Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Manager as an administrator.
- At the bottom of the navigation sidebar, click the Updates button.
The Software updates page appears.
- Click the Applied tab.
- Click Revert.
- Select a previous version.
ArcGIS Enterprise will revert to the version you select. If you previously explicitly applied any updates, you can select any of those updates. Otherwise, you can select the base version. All updates after the version you select will be removed.
- Click Continue.
