How to upgrade Laravel Forge AWS Server?

Hi, seems we need to upgrade our server. It lives on AWS and am finding it a bit small. Is it possible from Laravel Forge to upgrade it? Not sure how to go about that. Thanks

Does anyone know how to do this? I'm facing the same situation. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

Are you referring to software updates or upgrades to physical hardware?

I just made a similar ticket about this. I have problems as well. I guess all Forge customers using S3 backups are facing the issue - it's pretty serious not to have backups now 5 days back. Forge needs to downgrade to last known good version. It is v2.22.35 according to Digital Ocean.

Could we please have a real person from the Laravel team to respond on this and not a bot?

Message from Digital Ocean:

DigitalOcean Spaces Customers using the latest versions (released on Jan 15, 2025) of the AWS CLI or any AWS SDK, or relying on a tool or application that depends on any of these versions of the AWS CLI or an AWS SDK, are experiencing failed uploads to Spaces buckets in all regions.

This is caused by a change made by AWS on January 15, 2024 to the AWS CLI and almost all AWS SDKs (including boto3) to require use of “Data Integrity Protections for Amazon S3” (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-dataintegrity.html).

The currently recommended solution is to downgrade (roll back) to a version of the AWS CLI or AWS SDK released prior to January 15, 2025, or to an earlier version of tools or applications that do not depend on one of these versions of the AWS CLI or AWS SDK. The list of known impacted AWS client tools are: AWS CLI v2.23.0 (workaround - move to last known good version: v2.22.35) AWS SDK for Python (boto3) v1.36.0 (workaround - move to last known good version: 1.35.99) AWS SDK for Go 2025-01-15 release (workaround - move to last known good release: 2025-01-14)
