If it's the AWS AMI I believe they will definitely be running as a system service and should carry out this step.

The issue I was trying to solve in my original PR is that my first experience with coder was with the AWS AMI. Almost immediately after booting I got a notice to update to a newer version, and the instructions to do so didn't specify how to update if you were using the AMI. I wasn't sure if the AMI was created using the Install.sh method so I didn't know the proper path to update. |
@matifali I get what you're saying, but I think we should side with easier findability here. I think we have enough people using the AMI (or will be soon) that we want to answer the question they're asking in an obvious way. Say if they search "update coder aws ami," (like @d1str0 probably did) they'll find a heading that looks like their answer rather than deciding whether or not our documented generic answer fits their issue |

This PR rearranges the Upgrade doc to use tabs for each section + adds AWS AMI
