Migrating foundational services version 3.x to 4.x

Foundational services version 4.x has several breaking changes compared to 3.x and requires scripts or manual steps for migration. A simple channel switch to upgrade the operators is not sufficient and can break foundational services.

Supported versions to migrate from:

• If on v3 channel, then 3.19.9 and later
• If on v3.x channel, then 3.20.0 and later

There are three migration methods, each for different use cases. Each method outlines the manual steps and also includes steps to run the scripts that automate the migration process.

• In-place migration
• Isolated migration
• AllNamespaces migration

See the following procedures to learn more about the actions related to migration.
