Change Ruby Version

For existing environments, you can change the Ruby version by redeploying the container(s).

1. There are two options to access the container update dialog:

  • Using the topology wizard (use the Change environment topology button next to the appropriate environment) by clicking on the stack/tag version in the central dialog part;

  • With the appropriate Redeploy container(s) button next to the required node/layer.

2. In the opened window, adjust the following settings:

  • Tag – allows choosing the needed Ruby version;
  • Keep volumes data – saves data in volumes;
  • Simultaneous or Sequential deployment with delay (for scaled servers only) – defines whether all containers within a layer should be redeployed at once or one-by-one, to avoid downtime.
