Are there any implications for upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise (with the usual on-prem downloadable) which was deployed in Azure using Cloud Builder? Such as subsequent upgrades not being possible with Cloud Builder?

For example

  • I have ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 in Azure and used ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure 11.1 to create it.
  • I download ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 from My Esri and copy the downloadables to my Azure VMs.
  • I upgrade Enterprise 11.1 to 11.2 with the packages downloaded from My Esri.

When Cloud Builder for 11.3 becomes available, will I run into issues upgrading from 11.2 with Cloud Builder?

Once a deployment of Enterprise is upgraded outside of Cloud Builder (i.e., download the installers from MyEsri and run them manually), it can no longer be upgraded via Cloud Builder again. Cloud Builder must be used for each upgrade to be able to keep using in the future.
