Backport upgrade guide changes to versions `7.17-8.9` #5302

Open jmikell821 opened 4 months ago

jmikell821 commented 4 months ago

An addendum of https://github.com/elastic/security-docs/pull/5186. We need to backport the same changes to 7.17-8.9. We previously merged these changes to main and versions 8.14-8.10.

NOTE: We may need to check out branches individually to avoid merge conflicts. Also note that this caveat of upgrading to 8.8 should only apply to 8.8.0+

NOTE: Upgrade instructions for 8.x > 8.x minor need to be added to all 8.x branches.

Backport strategy

Once the upgrade instructions for 8.x > 8.x minor are completed, we'll use mergify to backport these to versions 8.14–8.10, as we did for the 7.17 > 8.x upgrade guide.

Branches 8.0–8.9 will then need to be updated with both the 7.17 > 8.x upgrade guide and the 8.x > 8.x guide. We'll do this by targeting the branches directly rather than using mergify, since those versions are significantly different from the last few versions.
