# Bank-Vaults Operator v1.20.0 upgrade guide

The release of the Vault Operator **v1.20.0** marks the beginning of a new chapter in the development of the Bank-Vaults ecosystem, as this is the first release across the project after it has been dissected and migrated from the original `banzaicloud/bank-vaults` repository under its own `bank-vaults` organization. We paid attention to not introduce breaking changes during the process, however, the following changes are now in effect:

- All Helm charts will now be distributed via OCI registry on GitHub.
- All releases will be tagged with `v` prefix, starting from `v1.20.0`.

## Upgrade guide

Upgrade to the new Vault Operator by changing the helm repository to the new OCI registry, and specifying the new version numbers:

```bash
helm upgrade vault-operator oci://ghcr.io/bank-vaults/helm-charts/vault-operator \
	--set image.tag=v1.20.0 \
	--set bankVaults.image.tag=v1.20.0 \
	--wait
```

Make sure to also change the `bank-vaults` image in the Vault CR’s `spec.bankVaultsImage` field to `ghcr.io/bank-vaults/bank-vaults:1.20.x`.
