You can’t upgrade the board to a 2017 in that machine. Unfortunately just about everything is soldered to the board in your model and would cost more to upgrade, if it’s possible, compared to just buying a used upgraded version of what you already have.

Thanks @hootonberg. I stand corrected. 2015 was the last model for MBA 11 inch. So I hope you answer changes!!

The SSD is socketed so you can put in a larger one but the drives I/O in this series is limited to mSATA.
Sadly, RAM is soldered to the logic board so you would need to swap out the logic board if you have a 2 GB and the only other option is a 4 GB board.
As for swapping out the logic board to a newer version, Apple altered too many things to make that possible. I agree with Jesse ( @hootonberg ) you would be better off getting a newer model on the used market.

Thanks @danj, how about swaping 2011 to 2015 logic board to upgrade cpu, gpu, ram and io?
While the logic boards have the same basic shape there are differences which make this swapping to a 2013 or higher not possible.
Great, thanks @danj, so does that mean I can swap to 2012 logic board?
@andzworld - Consider the costs! A i7 with 8 GB will be around $600 USD new $430 USD used
2012:
11" MacBook Air Logic board, 1.7 GHz i5, 8GB, Apple P/N 661-6626
11" MacBook Air Logic board, 2.0 GHz i7, 8GB, Apple P/N 661-6628
2011:
11" MacBook Air Logic board, 1.6 GHz i5, 4GB, Apple P/N 661-6071
11" MacBook Air Logic board, 1.8 GHz i7, 4GB, Apple P/N 661-6102
