Compatibility matrix for Standard Edition
Before you install, upgrade, or migrate Standard Edition, it is important to ensure that all components in your deployment are compatible. Each Standard Edition version supports only specific versions of the Instana backend, and using unsupported combinations can result in failed deployments or unexpected behaviour. The compatibility matrix helps you identify which Instana backend versions are supported for a Standard Edition version.
You must use this matrix when planning your deployment to select a valid combination of Standard Edition and backend versions. Use this table to:
- Identify the Instana backend versions that are compatible with your selected Standard Edition version
- Validate version combinations before installation or upgrade
- Plan upgrades by determining supported target versions.
The following table lists the Standard Edition version and the Instana backend versions that are compatible.
Self-Hosted Standard Edition 1.10.3 and earlier versions:
- For online (non-air-gapped) installations, most
stanctllifecycle commands, such asstanctl upwill fail to run. - For air-gapped installations, the
stanctlcommands continue to work.
Required action: Upgrade stanctl to 1.10.4 or later versions before you perform a lifecycle operation.
Example: On online deployments that run stanctl 1.10.3 or earlier versions, any workflow that stops services, such as a stanctl down command, before a backup, cannot complete because the subsequent stanctl up command fails. Upgrade stanctl to 1.10.4 or later versions before you start these steps.
