+Upgrading CloudStack
+====================
+
+Java version upgraded to Java 17
+---------------------------------
+
+As of Apache CloudStack 4.20, support for running with Java 17 has been added.
+In later versions, support for Java 11 will be removed.
+
+If you are running CloudStack with Java 17, for CloudStack versions 4.20 and
later:
+ * Verify /etc/default/cloudstack-management is consistent with
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/main/packaging/systemd/cloudstack-management.default;
Specifically, ensure that the following is present in the JAVA_OPTS:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.base/sun.security.x509=ALL-UNNAMED
+
+ * Verify /etc/default/cloudstack-usage is also consistent with the same file
in the repository.
+ * Perform the same check for /etc/default/cloudstack-agent on the hypervisor
hosts.
