This document outlines the steps to replace the Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudFormation template for a previously deployed USM Anywhere Sensor. This process is recommended to ensure your USM Anywhere Sensor has the latest permissions to collect the information from your AWS account. Follow each step carefully to ensure a seamless update.

​
Prerequisites

Please remove any termination protection that can be applied to your AWS instance.
Warning: When CloudFormation replaces your instance, the new instance will claim a new private IP address. If you have the existing IP address configured within outside services, you should reconfigure those services to use the new private IP address.
