Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for openshift/release: Delivered cross-vendor upgrade workflow enhancements for upgrading from 4.20 to 4.21 on both vSphere and Nutanix. Implemented a new upgrade configuration file, updated job specifications to reflect the new versioning and testing requirements, and aligned CI/testing resource configurations with the 4.21 path. Implemented 24-node upgrade scenarios for both platforms, including platform-specific adjustments: vSphere upgrades removed the --check-health flag, while Nutanix upgrades included the corresponding job automation. Strengthened testing coverage and release automation to reduce upgrade risk and improve reliability for customers. Key commits underpinning these changes include f20cf15c129fdba1e4270ad071173c9c63c95cd4 (vsphere: Loaded Upgrade - 24 nodes 4.20z -> 4.21, removed --check-health) and f22f8ea573b2e9f4c57d8defe0230f07dbb27f32 (Nutanix: Loaded upgrade - 24 nodes - 4.20z -> 4.21, make jobs).
