Which sequence reflects best practices for upgrading from Tanium Core 7.x to 8.x?

• A. Jump directly to production
• B. Upgrade only the database
• C. Skip admin training
• D. Review compatibility, test in non-prod environment, plan downtime, upgrade components in sequence, validate data, train admins

Answer: (D)

A controlled, validated upgrade process minimizes risk when moving Tanium Core from 7.x to 8.x. The best practice is to review compatibility across all components, test the upgrade in a non-production environment to catch issues early, plan downtime and stakeholder communication, upgrade the components in the recommended sequence, validate data after the upgrade, and ensure admins are trained on the new features and workflows. This sequence helps ensure compatibility, data integrity, manageable downtime, and smooth operation after the upgrade. Jumping straight to production is too risky; upgrading only the database misses the necessary changes to the application and modules; skipping admin training can lead to misconfigurations and underutilization of new features.
