Red Hat Data Grid 8 Operator Maintenance Schedule
How Data Grid Operator is shipped and provide updates
Data Grid can be installed at OpenShift via Operator which is provided by the This content is not included.Red Hat Product Catalog.
It is highly recommended to use the latest Data Grid Operator release to participate in security and other fixes as well as enhancements.
The Operator version will differ from the used Data Grid server image version as there is a faster schedule for the Operator to provide security fixes or enhancements where it is not necessary to have a new server image.
Each Operator version will use a defined Red Hat Data Grid server version, but it is possible to run with some legacy versions of server image by using spec.version, see the Operator Image relation for more details.
The most recent DataGrid Operator is supported for the latest OpenShift version, even if not listed as tested here. The continuous testing by Red Hat Data Grid team should detect compatibility issues but we recommend to test deployments in a separate environment before running in production instances.
Older minor version releases of the operator are no longer maintained and might not work with newer OpenShift versions listed here, therefore they are deprecated.
Starting on DG Operator 8.4.x (channel 8.4.x) the latest Operator can be used to run more than one DG cluster version.
Please refer to Data Grid Operator spec.version feature from 8.4 onwards.
