Upgrading and updating your Db2 on Red Hat OpenShift cluster

Your Db2 on Red Hat OpenShift deployment is auto-upgradable and auto-updatable by design. The automation to upgrade or update your Db2 server is fully encapsulated by the container automation.

Upgrading the Db2 Operator

Because of the automatic control that your Db2® Operator has on the configuration of your Db2 on OpenShift® deployment, the upgrade and update options available to you are determined by the Operator.

The table below lists the Db2 Operators that have been released in the version 1.x and 2.x channels, and their supported Db2 versions for deployment on OpenShift.
