Pega Platform 8.8 Upgrade Question
Hi Team,
We are planning to upgrade our Application from Pega 8.4.2.
We are currently weighing our options of upgrading to Pega 8.7 against Pega 8.8.
As per the Pega Platform Support Guide (Link), support for Windows Server 2016 is deprecated in Pega 8.8 whereas it is supported in Pega 8.7. Please refer the below table which explains the current infrastructure of our application. We would like to use the same infrastructure for the current upgrade. Could you please advise to which Pega version we have to upgrade to get maximum support from Pega in case of any issues after the upgrade or in future.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
