John Malconian and David Crossley: FYI. I created this and moved it into this sprint. I'm going to attempt to set it up this week to perform the upgrade on the production version this weekend.

Comment by Peter Murray [ 07/Oct/20 ]

John Malconian: Do you have an opinion about whether it is best to move to Confluence 7.4 (the long-term support release) or 7.8 (the latest version)? I'm inclined to 7.8 because I like new bells and whistles, but I haven't worked with Atlassian products before.

Noting that AWS Compute Optimizer is recommending the r5d.large instance, which is cheaper than the m3.xlarge instance it is on now.

Comment by John Malconian [ 08/Oct/20 ]

Peter Murray Agreed. 7.8

Leaving this bit of Confluence markup here that was the header...just in case it is needed again:
