IBM Cloud Pak for Applications removals

If you are migrating your configuration from an earlier release of IBM Cloud Pak for Applications, you should be aware of the various features that were removed in this and earlier releases.

If a feature is listed as deprecated, IBM might remove this capability in a subsequent release of the product.

The following tables described what is removed. Where possible, the tables also indicate the recommended migration action.

Features removed in version 5.1.0

Table 1. Features removed in Cloud Pak for Applications version 5.1.0
Deprecation Recommended migration action
CLI installer The CLI installer is removed. Follow the instructions for installing the optional components individually.

The following related dependencies are no longer required, and are not automatically installed. Use the operator hub to install these components:

  • Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
  • Red Hat OpenShift Serverless Operator
  • Red Hat OpenShift Serverless Operator
  • Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator
  • Elasticsearch Operator
  • Red Hat OpenShift Jaeger
  • Kiali Operator
  • Red Hat Codeready Workspaces
Appsody:
  • Appsody CLI
  • Stack Hub
  • All Appsody stacks
  • Appsody Operator
 These components are removed. They are replaced by a similar capability in Red Hat OpenShift and exposed through an existing CLI, odo External link icon. Providing this support for application stacks directly in Red Hat OpenShift will provide a single set of tools that can be used with Red Hat OpenShift and Cloud Pak for Applications, and expand the community and tools that work with stacks. Conversely, existing users will gain new capabilities, such as the ability to develop on Red Hat OpenShift directly from a laptop, and multi-service applications.
Eclipse Codewind Eclipse Codewind is removed. Within Cloud Pak for Applications, Eclipse Codewind provided an IDE experience for working with application stacks, and by extension, Appsody. As we transition to use Red Hat OpenShift native developer tooling with odo and application stacks based on devfiles, supporting IDE extensions are available through Red Hat OpenShift Connector, which exist as plugins for VSCode External link icon and thereby Eclipse Che External link icon and CodeReady Workspaces External link icon and Intellij External link icon, as well as within CodeReady Studio (Eclipse) External link icon.
Accelerator for Teams:
  • Landing page
  • AFT console Appsody
  • AFT operator
  • Operator registry
  • Mediator operator
  • All pipelines, including Appsody related pipelines
  • Pipelines utilities, including security signing manager operator
  • Kabanero CLI
  • Kabanero CLI service
 Use Red Hat OpenShift GitOps to construct your continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines.
IBM Application Navigator There is currently no suitable supported replacement.
