 ## Why use Bitnami Secure Images?
 
 Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise [OS Photon Linux](https://vmware.github.io/photon/). Why choose BSI images?

-## Upgrade this application
-
-Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Mongodb and Parse, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Parse container. For the Mongodb upgrade see <https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/mongodb#user-content-upgrade-this-image>
-
-1. Get the updated images:
-
-   ```console
-   docker pull bitnami/parse:latest
-   ```
-
-2. Stop your container
-
-    - For docker-compose: `$ docker-compose stop parse`
-    - For manual execution: `$ docker stop parse`
-
-3. Take a snapshot of the application state
-
-    ```console
-    rsync -a /path/to/parse-persistence /path/to/parse-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
-    ```
-
-    Additionally, [snapshot the MongoDB&reg; data](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/mongodb#step-2-stop-and-backup-the-currently-running-container)
-
-    You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.
-
-4. Remove the currently running container
-
-    - For docker-compose: `$ docker-compose rm parse`
-    - For manual execution: `$ docker rm parse`
-
-5. Run the new image
-
-    - For docker-compose: `$ docker-compose up parse`
-    - For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): `docker run --name parse bitnami/parse:latest`

 ### How to deploy your Cloud functions with Parse Cloud Code?
 
 You can use Cloud Code to run a piece of code in your Parse Server instead of the user's mobile devices. To run your Cloud functions using this image, follow the steps below:
