## Upgrade barometer

This version includes a new migration that should not require any downtime.
This migration should only affect users who went from EE to CE and had issues upgrading to `10.8.0` to `10.8.2`.
GitLab.com migrations took approximately 0 minutes.

Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations,
and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior
can be changed by adding a [`/etc/gitlab/skip-auto-migrations`](http://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html) file,
which is only used for [updates](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html).

## Updating

## GitLab subscriptions

Access to GitLab Starter, Premium, and Ultimate features is granted by a paid [subscription](/pricing/).
