That's a loaded question.
Answering these two questions will impact what tooling you can use to upgrade your packages. It will be split between the Openstack packages and the regular distro packages.

Hi,

I have been given the task of updating our openstack/swift setup.
Currently, we are on openstack 2.3.1 with python-swiftclient 3.0.0 on
Ubuntu 16.04. My plan is to upgrade Ubuntu to 18.04 and then to 20.04.
Then focus on updating openstack and swift.

I do not have any previous experience with openstack or swift, but from
what I have read so far, our current version is not supported on
anything newer than Ubuntu 16.04. Should I revise my plan and look at
updating openstack/swift first, or is my plan to update Ubuntu first a
good path forward.

Thank you,
joshua.
