How to update the stack to latest version (6.0 to 6.1)?

[iuliuvisovan]

According to this explanation, I should be able to update the stack from 6.0. to 6.1: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/serverless-image-handler/update.html

You can update the Serverless Image Handler solution from v6.0 to v6.1.

However I can't really figure out how I can achieve this...

If I click on my stack ServerlessImageHandler, description is:
(SO0023) - Serverless Image Handler. Version v6.0.0 => click Update => Use current template, there is no "version" parameter or anything similar....

Any hint with regards to how I can achieve this is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Note, breaking changes can be introduced between versions, so it is important to check the release information for each release between the deployed version and the target version to ensure there are no concerns.

It is always advisable to use a test environment that matches the current configuration and use it for the update to find any potential issues.

If there are questions or issues, let us know.

The latest version is v6.1.1.

In general, to update from one version to another more recent version, the process is as follows:

• get the link to the target version CloudFormation template
• the latest version is found at the solution landing page https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/serverless-image-handler/ and is https://solutions-reference.s3.amazonaws.com/serverless-image-handler/latest/serverless-image-handler.template
• from the CloudFormation console, find and select the stack for the current deployment to be updated
• select Update
• select Replace current template
• in the Amazon S3 URL field, paste the link to the latest, or other target, version
• select Next for Specify stack details
• ensure that the parameters match the expected values, note that parameters may be added between versions so check each one for desired values
• select Next for Configure stack options
• ensure each setting matches desired values
• select Next for Review and confirm that all settings/values match what is desired
• note the Change set preview to see what resources will be added or modified
• acknowledge that additional capabilities may be required
• select Submit
• monitor the update and ensure that no errors or unexpected events appear and it completes successfully
• perform testing after the update completes, note that images may already be cached in CloudFront so it is advisable to test using images that are not cached and monitor logging or other metrics to ensure that the solution is performing as expected
