This section provides information on the compatibility of pre-upgrade and post-upgrade management/workload clusters after VMware Telco Cloud Automation when upgraded to VMware Telco Cloud Automation 3.1.

Annotate Details

Type Means Example Comment
Yes Supported Support upgrade cluster
No Not supported (Ready-only) When the management cluster is in an intermediate version that cannot be paused, such as v1.25.7 or v1.27.5, support for upgrading workload cluster is not available.
NA Can not proceed When the workload cluster is already at the highest supported version, support for upgrade is not available.
Not available on UI For a classy single node workload cluster, node-pool section will not be on the UI. Some parts will be hidden too.
