[Feature Request] - In-place upgrade from AL2 to AL2022 or AL2023 #388

I want an easy way to upgrade from AL2 to latest AL, even if I have to do incremental upgrades first.

I know this isn't officially supported but I was wondering if anybody did it or found and test a way.

From AL2022 to AL2023, this should be possible. There's some hoops with RPM signing keys and some package changes that you'd have to work around, but shouldn't be too hard.

I would advise a fresh instance instead though, and having data on a separate EBS volume.

For AL2 to AL2023, there is no current plan to introduce the ability to in-place upgrade from AL2 to AL2023.

@stewartsmith just checking in again since the last comment is from an year ago, do we have any methods of in place upgrade from AL2 to AL2023?
