+
+[role="_abstract"]
+
+If you want to upgrade from {PlatformName} 1.2 on prem or on virtual machines, you must upgrade to the {PlatformName} 2.x operator on {OCP} {OCPLatest} in order to easily deploy and manage {PlatformNameShort} components on {OCPShort} for efficient automation of application development and IT management for your organization.
+
+To perform this task successfully, you must:
+
+* Set up secret key files.
+* Create a database secret key.
+* Expose the host as an external IP.
+* Install {PlatformName} operator from {OperatorHub} and use the your previous database key when deploying a new {ControllerName}.
