Procedure
  1. Query cluster version, availability, uptime, and general status:

    $ oc get clusterversion
    Example output

    version   4.13.8    True        False         8h      Cluster version is 4.13.8
  2. Obtain a detailed summary of cluster specifications, update availability, and update history:

    $ oc describe clusterversion
    Example output
    Name:         version
    Namespace:
    Labels:       <none>
