This blog post describes how to download the PeopleTools version 8.60 and upgrade an older version through the Cloud Manager.
If you are not familiar with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and PeopleSoft Cloud Manager, then please go through the links below.
If you are using an earlier image of Cloud Manager, then upgrade to image 14 using the instructions described in the online help.

- Click More Actions, and then click Edit.
- Click Edit shape.
