Platform Update tiers

Platform Update tiers are where you let us know how you want us to proceed with managing critical platform updates such as updates to infrastructure, Kubernetes, and other operational components for your DX Cloud project.

This is broken down into the following tiers:

Tier Description Announce Approval

Tier 1

You do not require an announcement regarding updates, but we need approval to perform the updates.

Tier 2

You would like an announcement made regarding updates, but we can perform the updates without explicit approval.

Tier 3

You would like an announcement made regarding updates and the update window should be confirmed between both parties.

Subscription preferences

You can set your preference for Platform Updates directly from the Cockpit.

  1. Go to Subscription preferences.

  2. Under Platform Updates, choose your desired Tier.

As it sounds, active alerts are those alerts that are currently active for your cluster and should be seen to.

Pending alerts means that at least one time series returned by the evaluation engine is Pending.
