Most likely by mid-end of Oct, CPDS 2.0 will be available for customers installing CPDS for the first time or customer who have tolerance for larger downtime. Procedures are being designed to see if NPS can be online during the migration. This may be available by Q1'22.

Hi Shekar
Any news about CP4D 2.0 based NPS? Will it be upgrade or migration? How long it would take to upgrade existing NPS CP4D with 11.X version?

This is being actively developed and tested right now. It will very likely release around min-end of q3. Since implementation is subject to change, i request we wait for the official release of the software and it's documentation.

Hi
Still not answered question: why there is no OCP 4.X?
1,5 year (Jun 2022) is not the time you are buying large enterprise data warehouse. And this date is time for extended support. Full support (so more focus on support side) is by June 2019.
I would not complain if OCP 4.X would not exist yet – but it is: for last half year is officially GA.
Again – it seems we are on day 1 getting on tech which is obsolete .
When CP4D will be upgraded to newer version? Where we can find IBM's official commitment for that?
Br,
Adam

Hello Adam,
Our current version 3.11 is the latest of the 3.x branch and is fully supported by redhat until Jun 2022.
Our appliance will follow the IBM life cycle so it will be longer supported.
v3.X End of Maintenance Schedule
Nov 2018 | Jan 2019 | Apr 2019 | Jul 2019 | Oct 2019 | Jun 2022 |
---|
3.0 & 3.1 | 3.2 & 3.3 | 3.4 & 3.5 | 3.6 & 3.7 | 3.9 & 3.10 | 3.11 |
The NPS is running on a docker container and is not controlled by OCP. It is managed by the platform software.
Regards
Rafael
IBM Support.

Hi
So new NPS is container inside CP4D (CloudPak for Data) which when I look on release notes in on: 3.11
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5FPD_1.0.0/com.ibm.icpds.doc/admin/system_overview.html
When I check Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy (non-current versions) - Red Hat Customer Portal
It seems that RedHat (an IBM company) seems to provide Full Support only by end of June 2021.
I understand taht this comes as an appliance and support is going to be same as for Netezza (the whole). But seems like on day 1 we are going into legacy / abandonned technology.
What is the upgrade plan for CP4D to something more modern (for example OCP 4.6)?
