CloudGuard VMSS Solution Upgrade

This section provides instructions for upgrading an already deployed CloudGuard VMSS solution.

The upgrade procedure includes these steps:

  1. Deploying a new version of the CloudGuard VMSS solution alongside the older version (a side-by-side upgrade).

  2. Reconfiguring Azure resources and Check Point configuration to use this new version of the CloudGuard VMSS solution.

    Note - This procedure includes a connection draining mechanism which allows in-flight sessions to complete gracefully before de-allocating Virtual Machines. This ensures continuous service availability and supports zero-downtime deployments during instance scale-in, maintenance, or updates.

  3. Deleting the older version of the CloudGuard VMSS solution.
