3.3. Upgrades Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
- Red Hat supports upgrades from one downstream minor version to the next, with no jumps.
- While Red Hat aims to have compatibility across minor versions, Red Hat recommends upgrading all sites to the latest version.
3.4. Disconnected operation Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Red Hat supports deployment of Service Interconnect in disconnected environments.
If you have applications that require long lived connections, for example Kafka clients, consider using a load balancer as ingress instead of a proxy ingress such as OpenShift route. If you use an OpenShift route as ingress, expect interruptions whenever routes are configured.
