Important Announcement: Version Support Changes

Starting in 2025, OADP will implement a streamlined version support policy. Red Hat will support only one version of OADP per OpenShift version to ensure better stability and maintainability.

Impact on Partners

  • Partners must align their integration testing with the specific OADP version corresponding to their target OpenShift version
    • Unreleased OADP builds are available via the branches of this oadp-operator repository. The next release will be available for install via the master branch until such time the next release branch is created, the oadp-1.<version>+1 branch will be made available for install.
    • latest branched version is oadp-1.4

Action Items for Partners

  1. Update your test matrices to reflect the new version pairing strategy
  2. Determine if installing development builds from the openshift git repository is acceptable for testing and certification efforts. If a downstream build is required, please contact your Red Hat partner manager for guidance.
  3. Update documentation to reflect supported version combinations
  4. Communicate these changes to customers using your backup solutions
