Upgrade Helm chart

Upgrade a Camunda 8 Self-Managed deployment installation using the official Camunda Helm charts.

earlier versions

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.8, see upgrading from an earlier version.

Plan your move to the Helm v4 CLI

Camunda 8.9 (chart 14.x) is the last minor that supports the Helm v3 CLI. Camunda 8.10 (chart 15.x) requires the Helm v4 CLI. Chart 14.x also supports Helm v4, so switch your tooling to the Helm v4 CLI while running 8.9 to be ready before you upgrade to 8.10. No release-state migration is required when switching CLIs. See Move from the Helm v3 CLI to v4.

Upgrade notes

Bitnami Docker repository migration

On August 28, 2025, Bitnami migrated its container images from bitnami to bitnamilegacy. The Camunda Helm charts have been updated to use the new repository.

If you are still using a Camunda Helm chart that references the old repository, use the Helm chart Bitnami legacy values file to override the image repositories.

See the Bitnami GitHub announcement for details.
