OpenShift Container Platform Versioning Policy
OpenShift Container Platform provides strict backwards compatibility guarantees for all supported APIs, excluding alpha APIs (which may be changed without notice) and beta APIs (which may occasionally be changed in a non-backwards compatible manner).
Red Hat did not publicly release OpenShift Container Platform 4.0 and, instead, is releasing OpenShift Container Platform 4.1 directly after version 3.11.
The OpenShift Container Platform version must match between master and node hosts, excluding
temporary mismatches during cluster upgrades. For example, in a
4.1 cluster, all masters must be 4.1 and all nodes
must be 4.1. If you installed an earlier version of oc, you
cannot use it to complete all of the commands in OpenShift Container Platform
4.1. You must download and install the new version of oc.
Changes of APIs for non-security related reasons will involve, at minimum, two
minor releases (3.10 to 3.11 to 4.1, for example) to allow older oc to update.
Using new capabilities may require newer oc. A 4.1 server may have additional
capabilities that a 3.11 oc cannot use and a 4.1 oc may have additional
capabilities that are not supported by a 3.11 server.
