The latest update of Red Hat OpenShift Online Pro uses Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version 3.9, which is based on OpenShift Origin 3.9. New features, changes, and known issues that pertain to the latest updates of OpenShift Online are included in this topic.

1.3. New Features and Enhancements

This release adds improvements related to the following components and concepts.

1.3.1. Master

1.3.1.1. StatefulSets, DaemonSets, and Deployments Now Supported

In OpenShift Online Pro, statefulsets, daemonsets, and deployments are now stable, supported, and out of Technology Preview.

1.3.1.2. Add Support for Deployments to oc status

The oc status command provides an overview of the current project. This provides similar output for upstream deployments as can be seen for downstream DeploymentConfigs, with a nested deployment set: 

$ oc status
In project My Project (myproject) on server https://127.0.0.1:8443

svc/ruby-deploy - 172.30.174.234:8080
  deployment/ruby-deploy deploys istag/ruby-deploy:latest <-
    bc/ruby-deploy source builds https://github.com/sclorg/ruby-ex.git on istag/ruby-22-centos7:latest
      build #1 failed 5 hours ago - bbb6701: Merge pull request #18 from durandom/master (Joe User <joeuser@users.noreply.github.com>)
    deployment #2 running for 4 hours - 0/1 pods (warning: 53 restarts)
    deployment #1 deployed 5 hours ago

Compare this to the output from OpenShift Container Platform 3.7: 

$ oc status
In project dc-test on server https://127.0.0.1:8443

svc/ruby-deploy - 172.30.231.16:8080
  pod/ruby-deploy-5c7cc559cc-pvq9l runs test

1.3.2. Developer Experience

1.3.2.1. Jenkins Memory Usage Improvements

Previously, Jenkins worker pods would often consume too much or too little memory. Now, a startup script intelligently looks at pod limits and environment variables are appropriately set to ensure limits are respected for spawned JVMs.

1.3.3. Web Console

1.3.3.1. Catalog from within Project View
