upgrading-mwaa-environments

Upgrades an MWAA environment to a newer Airflow version — within 2.x, within 3.x, or across the 2.x-to-3.x boundary. Computes the version-jump path, inserting the 2.11.x stepping-stone and Python-transition step when needed. Chooses an approach by whether run history and the same environment (URL/ARN) must be kept: a new-environment upgrade (blue-green), a rehearsed in-place upgrade validated on a test copy, or a direct in-place upgrade. Runs Ruff scanning and deprecation-warning log scans for 3.x moves, plus Docker validation, batched deployment, and switchover. Saves a resumable upgrade plan for multi-session work. Triggers on: upgrade MWAA, upgrade Airflow, migrate to Airflow 3, MWAA Airflow 3, Airflow 2 to 3, preserve Airflow history, keep same MWAA environment, blue-green cutover, validation environment before cutover. Not for authoring new DAGs (authoring-mwaa-workflow), debugging unrelated DAG failures (debugging-mwaa-workflow), or MWAA Serverless YAML workflows (provisioned Python DAGs only).

Upgrade an MWAA provisioned environment to any newer, MWAA-supported Airflow
version: within 2.x, within 3.x, or across the 2.x-to-3.x boundary. The target
is a parameter. A path planner computes an ordered version-jump list from
(source, target); the latest 2.11.x stepping-stone version and a Python-line
transition step are inserted only when the path requires them. A deployment
approach is selected by whether historical run data must be preserved and
whether the same environment (its URL/ARN) must be kept: a new-environment upgrade
