SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python3, ocm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes OCM version gate configurations to ensure that OpenShift upgrade releases are ready for deployment, identifying any missing or incorrect version gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OCM Version Gate Analysis: Validates that version gates exist for target OCP versions and checks their metadata/configurations.
  • Graceful Fallback: Handles missing CLI tools or tokens by falling back to high-fidelity mock data.
  • Automated Reporting: Generates comprehensive HTML and JSON reports in the reports/ folder.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill to validate version gate configurations before a GA release or during CI/CD pipelines to ensure release candidate milestones are met.

Quick Start

Run the ocm-version-gate-gap skill to analyze version gates for the target OpenShift version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate OpenShift upgrade readiness using OCM version gates?

OpenShift upgrade readiness is validated by analyzing OCM version gate configurations to confirm gates exist and metadata is correct for target OCP versions. This Skill automates those checks and generates reports detailing any version gate gaps before deployment.

Can I run OCM version gate analysis without the ocm CLI or authentication tokens?

Yes, OCM version gate analysis can run without the ocm CLI or tokens by falling back to high-fidelity mock data. The Skill handles missing credentials gracefully, allowing you to proceed with configuration validation using simulated inputs.

What reports are generated when checking OpenShift version gate configurations?

Checking OpenShift version gate configurations generates comprehensive HTML and JSON reports in the reports folder. These outputs document the existence, correctness, and metadata of version gates for the analyzed OCP releases.

How does automated version gate validation fit into a CI/CD pipeline?

Automated version gate validation fits into CI/CD pipelines by executing scripts to verify release candidate milestones are met before GA. The Skill checks OCM configurations during the pipeline run and outputs structured JSON reports for automated processing.

Do I need python3 to analyze OCM version gate configurations?

Yes, python3 is required to analyze OCM version gate configurations with this Skill. The ocm CLI is only optional, used specifically for live queries against the OpenShift Cluster Manager API when available.

What problems does an OCM version gate gap analysis identify before a GA release?

An OCM version gate gap analysis identifies missing or incorrect version gates for target OpenShift upgrade releases. It ensures release candidate milestones are met by validating gate configurations prior to a GA deployment.
