  • 3scale 2.7
    • Released – February 21, 2020

Q: Should I migrate to 3scale 2.7 from older 2.x versions?

It is advisable to migrate your 3scale on premise installation to the latest current version.

Q: How to migrate to latest 3scale 2.x version?

You should migrate version by version (for example: 2.5 to 2.6) which means that if you have older version you could need more than one migration. Migration between each of version pairs is described on Red Hat site. Here are general guidelines:

    • Make backup before upgrade
    • Migration causes disruption for your APIs, provide maintenance window
    • Check if some features were deprecated


    Q: What are benefits of the latest 3scale 2.x version?

    Each new version brings new fixes, new features and improvements. For example with 3scale 2.7 the most interesting of those are:

    • Fixed disabling a method by modifying a plan
    • Fixed 3scale toolbox command not recognized
    • A new way to manage APIs (separation of products & backends)
    • API Cast policy to configure Camel policy extension
    • 3scale operators for upgrade in OpenShift 4
