OKD 4.15 to 4.16

[dkoci]

Hi.
Will an upgrade from OKD 4.15 to 4.16 be available? The upgrade for OpenShift is already possible, but I notice that the latest version for OKD is 4.15.0-0.okd-2024-03-10-010116.

Thank you. I did not know about SCOS and RH saga.

Follow the steps and important to wait kube-apiserver to compete his upgrade. All is in the post explained!

Thank you @madpearl but I will wait for the stable upgrade 🙂.

Please note that the upgrade from OKD FCOS 4.15 to OKD SCOS 4.16 will require a --force upgrade process. It's not going to show up in the list of available updates on the cluster itself.

Will be there any announcement about version which will be suitable for stable upgrade?

[JaimeMagiera]

Yes. When we have a GM candidate, with appropriate documentation to match, we'll make an announcement on the blog, in the chat channels, with smoke signals, skywriting, megaphones – anything we can get our hands on.

Great. Thank you for all answers.
