# Elastic Cloud Hosted breaking changes
Elastic Cloud Hosted breaking changes can impact your Elastic applications, potentially disrupting normal operations. Carefully review them and take the necessary steps to mitigate any issues.
In addition, before [upgrading your hosted deployments](https://docs-edge.elastic.dev/docs/deploy-manage/upgrade/deployment-or-cluster/upgrade-on-ech), review the [breaking changes](https://docs-edge.elastic.dev/docs/release-notes) for any Elastic Stack applications that you're using.

<dropdown title="Removed deprecated _upgrade endpoint">
  The `deployments/<deployment_id>/<resource-kind>/<ref_id>/_upgrade` endpoint was already deprecated and has now been removed. To upgrade a deployment using the API, you should instead use the [`/deployments/{deployment_id}`](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/cloud/operation/operation-update-deployment) endpoint.
</dropdown>

<dropdown title="Removed Elasticsearch and Kibana URLs from supported settings">
  `ApmSystemSettings`, `IntegrationsServerSystemSettings`, `KibanaSystemSettings` and `EnterpriseSearchSystemSettings` no longer support `elasticsearchUrl` and `kibanaUrl` fields.
