Insights details on Unsupported & Nearing-End-of-Support Kubernetes or OpenShift Clusters
Explore insights on managing container clusters running Kubernetes or OpenShift versions that are either unsupported or approaching the end of active support.
Introduction
Kubernetes and OpenShift introduce three new versions each year, offering access to the latest features, security improvements, and bug fixes. You can monitor your clusters and associated Kubernetes or OpenShift versions, allowing you to quickly detect outdated clusters and take appropriate actions guided by recommendations.
The Actionable Insights page features interactive tiles showing the count of clusters nearing the end of active support. These clusters fall into three categories:
- Number ofClusters K8s/OCP versions nearing end of active support:Clusters that will soon exceed active support.
- Number ofClusters K8s/OCP versions with maintenance support only:Clusters that have passed the end of active support but still receive maintenance support.
- Number ofClusters K8s/OCP versions without support:Clusters that have gone beyond both the end of active support and maintenance support, hence receiving no support.
Click any of these three tiles to update the table list displaying insight details and recommendations related to the selected tile. The table header allows you to search for a specific cluster name, filter by all Kubernetes versions, export the table results to an xlsx file, or configure the table settings. The table includes the following fields:
- Cluster: The cluster's name.
- Cluster type:The type of cluster.
- Version number: The current Kubernetes or OpenShift version running on the cluster.
- Active support end date: The date when active support for the current version ends.
- Maintenance support end date: The date when maintenance support for the current version ends.
- Date: The date when the recommendation was generated.
By default, the table is sorted by the recommended date. Selecting a cluster name or the overflow menu under the Action column opens a slider panel with more recommendation details.
Recommendations Slider Panel
This panel provides:
- Cluster: The cluster's name.
- Recommendation: Based on the Kubernetes or OpenShift version's support status, including:
- Clusters nearing Active Support end.
- Clusters with Maintenance Support only.
- Clusters with No Support.
- Current Version: Shows the operating version.
- Latest Version Available for Update: Displays the latest available version.
- Active Support End: Date when active support ends.
- Maintenance Support End: Date when maintenance support ends.
- Additional Info: Link to the current version's changelog.
- Recommended Date: Date of recommendation issuance.
