I'm interested in hearing from others running IBM Fusion who have adopted the control plane only update approach when moving between even-numbered OpenShift releases.

If you're using this method, I'd like to learn:

• How has it worked in your environment?
• What benefits or challenges have you seen operationally?
• Has it reduced downtime or made scheduling upgrades easier?

For anyone not yet using this approach but curious about it, I recently wrote a short Medium article outlining the method and why it can be helpful in regulated or air-gapped environments: Streamlining IBM Fusion Upgrades with OpenShift Control-Plane Only updates
