This topic describes upgrading to VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs (TAS for VMs) v2.11 directly from Pivotal Application Service (PAS) v2.7 and later.
Overview
Jump upgrading describes the process of skipping minor versions when upgrading TAS for VMs. Jump upgrading enables you to upgrade directly to the long-term support (LTS) version of TAS for VMs, which is v2.11. TAS for VMs v2.11 is supported through April 2024.
To minimize downtime for developers pushing apps, upgrade from PAS v2.7.41 or later, or TAS for VMs v2.10.21 or later. Upgrading from earlier patch versions can result in an Unknown Error when pushing apps.
