Hello @deadmantfa, This upgrade failure is expected since the solution moved to CDK in v6.0.0 per the release notes below, and you are trying to upgrade from v5.3.1. https://github.com/aws-solutions/video-on-demand-on-aws/releases/tag/v6.0.0 However, you will be able to keep the S3 buckets, DynamoDB table, and CloudWatch logs created by the solution after you uninstall the stack. See notes in the Implementation Guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/video-on-demand-on-aws/uninstall-the-solution.html

@raulmlamzn thank you for the quick response. I will have a look at the documentation again. Just worried that as I have live videos which my customers are using and hope there is no loss/downtime for them due to this change I am trying to make. Thank you once again for pointing me to the right direction
