To install or upgrade, move your stack to 9.4.4. If you are on 9.4.3 or another prior 9.4 build, plan the upgrade to 9.4.4 as the preferred target. Apply the update across each Elastic Stack product you run, then use the release notes for that product so you know exactly what landed in 9.4.4 before you cut over.
Before you finish, confirm every node and product reports 9.4.4, not 9.4.3. Re-check the release notes for any fix that matters to your deployment so you know what to validate after the upgrade. Treat 9.4.4 as the version Elastic recommends for this line, and do not stay on 9.4.3 once you have a clear path to 9.4.4.
