Upgrading
Follow the v7 upgrade guide before updating. Remove or replace retired parameters in parameter files and deployment automation. If you use a custom AMI through ImageId or ImageIdParameter, rebuild it from the v7 base AMI and update it in the same stack update; a v6-based AMI might not boot under the v7 template depending on the configuration.
Perform a CloudFormation stack update with the following URL:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/buildkite-aws-stack/v7.5.0/aws-stack.yml
If you want to launch a new stack, you can use this link (make sure not to use your production AWS account, create a new one for CI):
