Upgrades

  • 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.

Disconnected operation

Red Hat supports deployment of Service Interconnect in disconnected environments.

IBM Power ppc64le

Release 2.1.2 introduces images for IBM Power ppc64le.

Note

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.
