If your cluster uses the OpenShift SDN network plugin, you cannot upgrade your cluster to {product-title} 4.17. You must initially migrate your cluster to the OVN-Kubernetes plugin and then upgrade your cluster to {product-title} 4.17.

Additionally, if your cluster uses a third-party container network interface (CNI) plugin, you cannot migrate your cluster to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. For a complete list of these CNI plugins, see link:https://access.redhat.com/articles/5436171[Certified OpenShift CNI Plug-ins] (Red{nbsp}Hat Knowledgebase).

For the limited live migration method only, do not automate the migration from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes with a script or another tool such as Red{nbsp}Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This might cause outages or crash your {product-title} cluster.
