OpenShift Service Mesh release notes

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3.0 is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

  • You need to remove the Kiali custom resources (CR) from Technology Preview 1 before you update to Kiali Operator provided by Red Hat 2.1.

  • Kiali Operator provided by Red Hat 2.1 is available in the candidates channel.

    The candidate channel offers unsupported early access to releases as soon as they are built. Releases present only in candidate channels might not contain the full feature set of eventual GA releases, or features might be removed before GA. Additionally, these releases have not been subject to full Red Hat Quality Assurance and might not offer update paths to later GA releases. Given these caveats, the candidate channel is suitable only for testing purposes where deleting and re-creating a cluster is acceptable.
