### Upgrade Checklist

- Test all upgrades in a lower environment (DEV, QA, UAT) before applying to production. Performing blind upgrades in production environments carries significant risk.
- Read the release notes for MinIO *before* performing any upgrade, there is no forced requirement to upgrade to latest release upon every release. Some release may not be relevant to your setup, avoid upgrading production environments unnecessarily.

### Notes

* By default the Docker Compose file uses the Docker image for latest MinIO server release. You can change the image tag to pull a specific [MinIO Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/).
