hello,
actually we are using elasticseach and kibana as a docker container in version 8.14.1.
currently the version is 9.0.0, how can we migrate to latest version without any data/indices loss??
when we tried using volume mount , elastic container is continuously restarting.
kindly need guidance here.
thanks,
vignesh raja S

To get to 9.0.0 you need go via 8.18.0 first
From [Prepare to upgrade | Elastic Docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/upgrade/prepare-to-upgrade)
"To upgrade from 8.17.0 **or earlier** to 9.0.0, you must first upgrade to the latest 8.18 patch release" (which is 8.18.0 as of now)
Be aware that 9.0.0 has some breaking changes ...
