Deprecation of DeploymentConfig
What is happening? Plattaform Services Team is upgrading to OCP 4.14 in 2024 Q3. Coming to this new version, the DeploymentConfig object is being deprecated. There is no immediate effect after the upgrade, any existing DeploymentConfig workloads will continue to run, but eventually this feature will be removed in future upgrades. The recommendation is to use Deployment instead of DeploymentConfig.
When? OCP4.14 upgrade is scheduled for Silver in mid September, Gold and GoldDR in October. After the upgrade, DeploymentConfig objects will be deprecated and you will start to see warning about the use of them. While DeploymentConfigs are still supported, they are not recommended for any new installations. Only security-related and critical issues will be fixed by RedHat. There is no specific timeline on when DeploymentConfig will stop working on OCP yet, but teams should start converting to Deployment now.
Do I need to do anything? If you are creating new workloads, make sure to use Deployment instead of DeploymentConfig. If you have existing DeploymentConfig workloads, please follow this RedHat guidance to convert them to Deployment objects.
