Update Workspace TE Version
In this guide, you will:
- Update a Guardrails workspace to a new TE version using AWS CloudFormation.
A Guardrails Workspace is updated to a new version by referencing a newly installed TE product within the workspace stack. This ensures the workspace benefits from the latest TE features and improvements.
Prerequisites
- Access to the Guardrails AWS account with Administrator Privileges.
- Desired TE version(s) installed.
- Familiarity with AWS Console and CloudFormation service.
Step 1: Access AWS Console
Open the AWS Console and navigate to the CloudFormation service in the region where your workspace is deployed.

Step 2: Select Stack
From the left navigation menu choose Stacks.

Search for the stack named workspace.

Select Update

Step 3: Update Stack
Choose Use existing template and select Next.

Modify the version to match the new TE version number used in the TE stack (e.g., 5.45.4), then select Next.

Step 4: Specify TE Version

Scroll down to Advanced options, leave the entire section as default and select Next

Step 5: Submit Changes
In Configure stack options, review changes under Changeset Preview and select Submit.

Step 6: Monitor Update
You have initiated the update of a new TE version in the Guardrails workspace. This triggers an update of several nested CloudFormation stacks.
- The workspace CloudFormation stack status should change to
UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS
indicating the update process is in progress.

Step 7: Review
- The workspace CloudFormation stack status should change to
UPDATE_COMPLETE
indicating the update completed successfully.

- Updated TE version should reflect in Guardrails
Workspace Admin
panel.
