4.12. Upgrading a CodeReady Workspaces instance with the Dev Workspace engine enabled requires manual steps

Currently, upgrading a CodeReady Workspaces instance with the Dev Workspace engine enabled requires the following manual steps as a workaround:

Workaround

  1. Unsubscribe the CodeReady Workspaces Operator from the latest channel.
  2. Remove the Dev Workspace Controller namespace.
  3. Subscribe the CodeReady Workspaces Operator to the tech-preview-latest-all-namespaces channel.

Support for deploying CodeReady Workspaces 2.15 with the Dev Workspace engine is available as a Technology Preview feature for OpenShift Container Platform 4.8. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not fully function. Red Hat does not suggest using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

Additional resources

4.13. The Image Puller does not work with the tech-preview-latest-all-namespaces channel

Currently, when using OperatorHub to install CodeReady Workspaces with the Dev Workspace engine, you cannot enable the Image Puller. The Image Puller currently does not work with the tech-preview-latest-all-namespaces channel.

Workaround

  • Fetch the standalone CodeReady Workspaces imagepuller-rhel8 image and use it manually to perform image pulls across the cluster.
