Pre-upgrade checklist

Complete the following checklist before upgrading Che so that no work is lost and the upgrade proceeds without errors.

Step Action

1

Review the release notes for breaking changes and new features.

2

Verify that your Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster version is supported. See How the upgrade works.

3

Notify developers to save and push all uncommitted work in their running workspaces.

4

Stop all running workspaces. The upgrade does not automatically stop workspaces, and running workspaces might encounter errors during the upgrade.

5

If you plan to upgrade from the command line, update chectl to the latest version. See Update the chectl management tool.

6

Verify the current Che Operator subscription and update approval strategy. See Choose how updates are applied.
