The following is an example of what you might see when this insight is triggered. Real insights use live data and links from your deployment or cluster.
Your current version is 8.15.0. It is recommended to upgrade your version to 9.5.0. While still supported, the later version has multiple features, performance, and stability improvements, as well as security patches, which you will benefit from.
AutoOps shows different recommendations depending on how their conditions match your deployment or cluster.
Upgrade cluster version
Condition: Always shown for this insight.
Upgrade from 8.15.0 to 9.5.0 for performance, security, and feature improvements. Review breaking changes before upgrading.
You are currently running on an earlier version of Elasticsearch. It is still supported, but it's recommended to upgrade to a later version. Later versions are more efficient and will enable you to achieve better performance for any given hardware specification. Moreover, as earlier versions do not benefit from the latest security patches, you are exposing your cluster to potential security threats, such as ransomware.
