Hello @tim.feldman,

We plan to update it soon. Are you interesting in the installer, VM, or any specific cloud image?

Regards

Hi,
We have many Joomla sites running on AWS Lightsail and we need to upgrade to PHP 7.4 soon as we cannot update several of our extensions unless we are on 7.4.

Hello @tim.feldman,

It could take more time since, apart from updating our solutions, the LigthSail team takes more time to import our latest images. You can follow this workaround:

Install the latest installer (that ships PHP 7.4) on your LightSail instance.

I hope it helps

Yes, thanks. We already looked into that but were hoping we could just migrate directly to new instances (that are already updated) as we have Python code for that migration and would save us time testing and troubleshooting as we have 300 sites.

I see @tim.feldman,

We are currently working on updating it in all our solutions, and it should ready soon. However, I cannot provide you with an ETA for the publishing on LightSail.

Regards.
