FAQPage Schema
How do I discover available OpenShift versions and latest patches?▼

You can discover available OpenShift versions and latest patches by running a Python script that automates retrieval of version information from Red Hat's public APIs, automatically identifying active minor versions.

What is a valid OpenShift upgrade path from my current version?▼

A valid OpenShift upgrade path identifies one-hop upgrade targets from a given version by analyzing version metadata retrieved from Red Hat APIs to determine safe direct upgrade targets.

Do I need authenticated API access to check OpenShift ROSA lifecycle metadata?▼

Yes, checking OpenShift ROSA and HCP eligibility or lifecycle metadata requires authenticated API queries, as public API access only supports basic version discovery.

Can I check OpenShift version upgrade paths without a Python environment?▼

No, checking OpenShift upgrade paths requires a Python environment to run the scripts that query Red Hat APIs for version information and analyze valid one-hop upgrade targets.

What OpenShift cluster management tasks require version discovery and lifecycle checks?▼

OpenShift cluster management tasks such as upgrade planning and lifecycle verification require version discovery, involving checks for ROSA/HCP eligibility and identifying valid upgrade paths using Red Hat API metadata.
