name	rhdh-ocp-lifecycle
description	Check which OCP versions are supported by active RHDH releases and which are end-of-life, using the Red Hat Product Life Cycles API for both RHDH and OCP lifecycle data including EUS phases. Supports OCP 4.x and future 5.x+
allowed-tools	Bash(bash *check-ocp-lifecycle.sh*)

Check RHDH and OCP Lifecycle Status

Query the Red Hat Product Life Cycles API to determine:

• Which RHDH releases are currently supported (Full Support or Maintenance)
• Which OCP versions each active RHDH release supports
• Which OCP versions are still supported upstream (including EUS phases)

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to check version support status before:

• Adding or removing RHDH cluster pools
• Adding or removing OCP-versioned CI test entries
• Planning RHDH release branch OCP coverage
• Running the rhdh-ocp-coverage analysis skill

Prerequisites

• curl and jq must be available
• Internet connectivity to reach https://access.redhat.com
• CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR is set automatically by the Claude Code skill loader. For manual invocation, set it to this skill's directory (e.g., CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR=ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/.claude/skills/rhdh-ocp-lifecycle)

Usage

Run the bundled script from the repository root:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-ocp-lifecycle.sh"

Check a specific OCP version

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-ocp-lifecycle.sh" --version 4.16

Check a specific RHDH version

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-ocp-lifecycle.sh" --rhdh-version 1.9

Show only RHDH lifecycle (skip OCP table)

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-ocp-lifecycle.sh" --rhdh-only

Output

RHDH Lifecycle Table

Shows each RHDH release with:

Column	Description
VERSION	RHDH release version (e.g., 1.9)
SUPPORTED	yes or no
TYPE	Full Support, Maintenance Support, or End of life
GA_DATE	General Availability date
FULL_SUPPORT_END	End of Full Support phase
MAINTENANCE_END	End of Maintenance Support phase
SUPPORTED_OCP_VERSIONS	OCP versions this RHDH release officially supports

After the table, a summary shows:

• The union of OCP versions supported across all active RHDH releases
• Per-release OCP support breakdown

OCP Lifecycle Table

Shows each OCP version (4.x and future 5.x+) with two support indicators:

Column	Description
VERSION	OCP minor version (e.g., 4.16)
OCP_SUPP	yes if OCP version has upstream support (any phase)
RHDH_SUPP	yes if any active RHDH release supports this OCP version
PHASE	Current OCP lifecycle phase
GA_DATE	OCP General Availability date
END_DATE	Latest end-of-support date across all OCP phases

The RHDH_SUPP column is the key indicator for CI coverage decisions. An OCP version should only have cluster pools and test entries if RHDH_SUPP=yes.

JSON Summary (stderr)

A JSON object is written to stderr with:

• rhdh_supported_versions: Array of active RHDH releases with their OCP compatibility
• ocp_versions_supported_by_rhdh: Deduplicated array of OCP versions supported by any active RHDH release

Data Sources

• RHDH lifecycle: https://access.redhat.com/product-life-cycles/api/v1/products?name=Red+Hat+Developer+Hub
  • Provides openshift_compatibility field per RHDH version (the authoritative source for which OCP versions RHDH supports)
  • Provides lifecycle phase and dates per RHDH version
• OCP lifecycle: https://access.redhat.com/product-life-cycles/api/v1/products?name=Red+Hat+OpenShift+Container+Platform
  • Provides lifecycle phase and dates per OCP version (Full, Maintenance, EUS Term 1/2)

Key Concepts

• RHDH-supported OCP versions are the OCP versions listed in the openshift_compatibility field of active RHDH releases. This is the set that should have cluster pools and CI test entries.
• OCP-supported versions include all OCP versions still receiving updates (Full, Maintenance, or EUS). This is a broader set — not all OCP-supported versions are relevant for RHDH.
• An OCP version can be OCP-supported but not RHDH-supported (e.g., an older EUS version that RHDH has dropped).
