          Can we upgrade to the latest directly from 6.3.15?

                Posted question to Atlassian Community:

                Looks like best practice is to clone one's current Jira and then upgrade that. Don't do anything to the live version of Jira.

                Our plan:

                • Clone current Jira on a VM of sufficient size and power to host a Jira 8.9, keeping track of all the steps needed to do this
                • Attempt to upgrade the clone, keeping careful track of all the steps needed to do this
                • Test the upgrade - e.g., make sure attachments added recently are available (this broke the last time we upgraded Jira)
                • Be able to repeat the above in a very short time period to reduce down time
