About migrating OpenShift Container Platform 3 to 4
OpenShift Container Platform 4 includes new technologies and functionality that results in a cluster that is self-managing, flexible, and automated. The way that OpenShift Container Platform 4 clusters are deployed and managed drastically differs from OpenShift Container Platform 3.
To successfully transition from OpenShift Container Platform 3 to OpenShift Container Platform 4, it is important that you review the following information:
- Planning your transition
-
Learn about the differences between OpenShift Container Platform versions 3 and 4. Prior to transitioning, be sure that you have reviewed and prepared for storage, networking, logging, security, and monitoring considerations.
- Performing your migration
-
Learn about and use the tools to perform your migration:
-
Cluster Application Migration (CAM) tool to migrate your application workloads
-
Control Plane Migration Assistant (CPMA) to migrate your control plane
-
