  • Update 4.14 job to upgrade from 4.12 instead of 4.13
  • Update 4.16 job to upgrade from 4.14 instead of 4.15
  • 4.13 and 4.15 are no longer supported, so we should use supported versions instead

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated CI release jobs to change the OCP target versions used by upgrade test workflows: the 4.14 job target moved from 4.13 to 4.12; the 4.16 job base selector and target moved from 4.15 to 4.14.
    • Result: CI upgrade tests now use 4.12/4.14 as the baseline for these release jobs.

@fontivan: This pull request references CNF-22982 which is a valid jira issue.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the sub-task to target the "5.0.0" version, but no target version was set.

Details

In response to this:

  • Update 4.14 job to upgrade from 4.14 instead of 4.13
  • Update 4.16 job to upgrade from 4.14 instead of 4.15
  • 4.13 and 4.15 are no longer supported, so we should use supported versions instead

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the openshift-eng/jira-lifecycle-plugin repository.

Critical: PR upgrade “from” version doesn’t match the CI config

  • ci-operator/config/openshift-kni/lifecycle-agent/openshift-kni-lifecycle-agent-release-4.14.yaml sets OCP_BASE_VERSION: "4.14" and OCP_TARGET_VERSION: "4.12" (line 132).
  • The image-based upgrade wiring upgrades the target cluster from TARGET_VERSION to SEED_VERSION; SEED_VERSION comes from OCP_BASE_VERSION and TARGET_VERSION comes from OCP_TARGET_VERSION.
  • So this job tests 4.12 → 4.14, not “from 4.14 instead of 4.13” as stated in the PR description.

🌐 Web query:

OpenShift 4.16 supported upgrade paths from 4.14

💡 Result:

From OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 to 4.16, the supported upgrade path is via the intermediate 4.15 release (minor-by-minor). In other words: 4.14 → 4.15 → 4.16, using the supported update/upgrade mechanism (channels and the upgrade graph). Evidence (official Red Hat docs): OpenShift 4.16 update documentation explicitly addresses upgrading from 4.15 to 4.16 and requires a manual administrator acknowledgment for that step, indicating 4.15 is the expected immediate predecessor for 4.16 updates [1][2]. OpenShift 4.14 update documentation describes how OpenShift uses an update recommendation service and an update graph that encodes which versions you can safely update to within the selected channel, which is how the supported intermediate hops are determined [3]. Notes: - Exact “4.14 → 4.15” z-stream/to-build selection can vary by channel (stable/fast/candidate/EUS), so you should confirm the specific allowed hops for your installed z-stream using the OpenShift update graph / oc adm upgrade channel output (the docs describe this model) [3][4]. - 4.16 uses Kubernetes 1.29 and may require workload/API migration as part of upgrading to 4.16 [1][2].

🌐 Web query:

Is OpenShift 4.14 still supported in 2026

💡 Result:

Yes—OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 can still be supported in 2026, depending on which Red Hat support phase/term you have. Red Hat announced additional Extended Update Support (EUS) for OpenShift 4.14 that extends support “through October 31, 2026” (Additional EUS term 2 ends 2026-10-31) [1]. The same lifecycle dates are reflected in Red Hat guidance on EUS/maintenance transitions (EUS release notes for 4.14 describe EUS duration and the availability of an additional 12-month add-on) [2]. Therefore, as of 2026-05-26, OpenShift 4.14 is still within the extended support window (EUS term 2) and can be considered supported if you are subscribed/enabled for the relevant EUS term [1][2].

Fix 4.14 → 4.16 upgrade test to go via the supported 4.15 intermediate (don’t skip).

In ci-operator/config/openshift-kni/lifecycle-agent/openshift-kni-lifecycle-agent-release-4.16.yaml (lines 129-133), OCP_TARGET_VERSION: "4.14" and OCP_BASE_VERSION: "4.16" implies a direct upgrade 4.14 → 4.16. OpenShift’s supported minor upgrade path is 4.14 → 4.15 → 4.16, so the test suite should use the intermediate 4.15 step or update the scenario/expectations to match supported upgrade mechanics.
