Verdict: Strong PRD with clear user need, concrete justification, and fully testable requirements; held back from a perfect score by missing In Scope/Out of Scope template sections and uneconomical repetition between Tenant Admin and Tenant User stories. Feedback: Add explicit In Scope and Out of Scope sections per the PRD template — move scope-limiting constraints (e.g., 'Only CaaS-provisioned HCP OpenShift clusters', 'SNO and traditional control plane node upgrades are not managed') into Out of Scope, and redistribute behavioral constraints into the user stories or an acceptance-criteria-style framing. Consider consolidating Tenant Admin and Tenant User stories under shared headings where the only difference is organization-wide scope (e.g., '### Tenant Admin / Tenant User' with 'As a Tenant Admin or Tenant User, I want to view upgrade history [for any cluster in my organization / for my cluster]...'), which would cut ~7 near-duplicate stories. Replace the OSAC-1269 internal state reference ('ACTIVE or DEPRECATED states') with a user-observable description like 'a version the platform has made available for upgrade.' Critical (0)None.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-1415-cluster-upgrade-caas/prd.md`:
- Line 38: Update the upgrade status requirements around the tenant monitoring
flow and related status definitions to include terminal cancelled state, its
transition timestamp, and history recording. Define deterministic behavior for
cancellation requests racing with upgrade start and for cancellation after the
allowed window expires, ensuring status and transition history remain
unambiguous.
- Line 87: Update the rollout requirements around the z-stream target and
related interfaces to use the minor-version cohort key consistently instead of a
singular fleet-wide target. Ensure API, CLI, UI, and rollout status descriptions
identify and apply the target only within the corresponding minor-version
cohort, including the unreachable-target behavior.
- Line 83: Update the failed y-stream upgrade recovery requirements near the
completed-upgrade rollback statement to define the product-level outcome for
partial or unhealthy control plane upgrades: specify whether supported manual
restoration to the source version is possible, or identify the external recovery
owner and the terminal status OSAC exposes. Keep the requirement at outcome
level without adding runbook or rollback procedure steps.
- Around line 88-89: Update the forced EOL upgrade behavior described in the
bullets around the control-plane and node-pool versions: define the maximum
supported control-plane/node-pool skew, require node pools to be upgraded or
otherwise reconciled after a successful control-plane upgrade, and explicitly
state the resulting support status. Preserve limited support for failed forced
upgrades while documenting the distinct status for successful ones.
- Around line 78-80: Expand the node pool upgrade behavior around the
partial-failure rule to define the resulting versions and status for each node
set, including which sets remain upgraded and how the cluster’s current version
is reported. Specify retry semantics so retries target only incomplete or failed
node sets while preserving already upgraded sets, and ensure upgrade history
exposes these per-node-set outcomes.

Does the user explicitly need to acknowledge the risks, or is the upgrade action implicit acknowledgement? I would imagine the UI flow having an explicit ack, but the API/CLI flow having an implicit one?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Explicit throughout. I've been thinking of surfacing the risks, and a) there is currently no other mechanism; b) can't rely on users doing the research beforehand + bad UX. WDYT?

Managing upgrade across a fleet in one operation can get complex. There are many different ways to deal with pacing of the rollout, handling failure, etc. As such, it would help to keep fleet upgrade operations in a clearly distinct section. The first thing we need to do is nail down the right way to do an individual cluster upgrade. If we get that right, then we can automate fleet operations on top. Organizing the PRD that way will help keep each section focused, and will help when the eventual design happens.
In general we should be aligning with existing openshift upgrade UX, including what's in ACM, ROSA, ARO, etc.
| - A reachable version is only available for upgrade if an enabled ClusterVersion (OSAC-1269) exists for it; "enabled" here corresponds to the ACTIVE or DEPRECATED states defined in OSAC-1269 | ||
| - Node pool versions are additionally capped at the control plane's committed version — the version it has successfully reached | ||
| - If a control plane upgrade is in progress, the cap remains at the pre-upgrade version; it advances to the new version only once the control plane upgrade completes successfully | ||
| - All node sets in a cluster share the same target OCP version; node pool upgrades apply uniformly across all node sets |

Is this a limit inherent to HCP? Or otherwise why should OSAC impose this?

This follows the current behavior for new installations, and I decided that we should avoid the complexity of upgrading individual node sets in the first version of the feature.

Verdict: A strong, well-structured PRD that clearly describes cluster upgrade capabilities for CaaS with comprehensive persona coverage, concrete business justification, no design leakage, focused scope, and fully testable requirements. Feedback: This is a high-quality PRD. Two minor improvements: (1) Address the UI and Documentation dimensions — state whether console support for upgrade workflows and user-facing documentation are in scope for this milestone or explicitly deferred. (2) The Provenance section is non-template content; consider moving it to an HTML comment or removing it before merge, as the PRD template does not include a Provenance section. Critical (0)None.

Verdict: A strong PRD with clear user-facing need, concrete business justification, no design leakage, well-focused scope, and fully testable requirements across all four OSAC personas. Feedback: This is a well-crafted PRD that meets all rubric criteria. The combined persona heading for shared stories is well-applied, and the persona-specific sections capture genuine differences. Minor polish: the parenthetical '(one hop)' in the version selection story uses graph-theory terminology that could be simplified to 'directly available' for broader audience clarity, and the two related Tenant User notification stories (approaching N-2 skew limit vs. any version divergence) could note what user-observable difference distinguishes the two alerts.

Please scope this feature for the bare minimum for a tenant user to upgrade a cluster component (CP or NP). Let's start by building the primitives, and then build compound operations (e.g., fleet) and automated operations (e.g., platform-initiated).

Verdict: Strong PRD with clear user-facing capability, concrete business justification, clean persona coverage, and fully testable requirements — minor consolidation opportunities in version-notification stories. Feedback: Consider consolidating Tenant User stories 13 (approaching N-3 skew warning) and 15 (any version divergence notification) into a single story covering both general divergence awareness and critical skew warnings, as both describe version alignment notifications at different thresholds. Stories 5 and 6 (risk review and acknowledgment) describe sequential steps in the same user flow and could be merged. Moving HCP context notes from user stories ('This is an HCP requirement') into the Assumptions section would keep stories focused purely on user-observable behavior. Critical (0)None. Important (1)

- Line 83: Resolve the upgrade-scope contract in the PRD by choosing whether a
node-pool upgrade targets one selected HCP NodePool or every NodePool in the
cluster. Update the node-pool upgrade assumption and align the related user
stories so they consistently describe the same scope, avoiding any
interpretation where a single-node-pool request expands to all pools.
- Around line 28-29: Align the PRD objective and scope for platform-managed
control-plane z-stream upgrades: either remove that capability from the
objective for a tenant-only PR, or define the platform-managed upgrade workflow
and assign the responsible platform-admin ownership alongside the existing node
pool upgrade scope.
- Line 49: Update the control-plane upgrade logic described in the tenant-user
node pool version-cap requirement so node-pool target versions cannot exceed the
latest successfully applied control-plane version, including patch versions,
while an upgrade is in progress. Keep this applied-version cap until the
control-plane upgrade completes, then allow normal target-version behavior.
- Around line 77-78: Update the pre-4.20 skew policy in the eligibility,
warning, and concurrent-upgrade checks so odd OCP minors allow N-1 and even
minors allow N-2; specifically ensure OCP 4.19 uses N-1 rather than N-2. Keep
OCP 4.20 and later on the N-3 rule, and align the corresponding policy
statements consistently.
- Line 27: Revise the rollback exclusions at the affected scope statements so
they no longer claim OpenShift forbids every rollback or downgrade; limit the
unsupported behavior to control-plane or whole-cluster rollback, while
preserving that incompatible node-pool rollback is supported and leaving
implementation details to the design or runbook.

nit: Aren't those two basically the same? Informing the user about the CP and Workers versions so they can take action (wether upgrading before it falls out or just upgrading to keep in sync)

I guess the fine point is severity. If the versions diverge - that's not ideal, but acceptable, while the N-3 is a risk of falling out of support.
I can see two options here:
- Combine. Meaning neither is OK, the node pools have to be aligned with the control plane ASAP.
- Drop the simple diverge case, accept it as normal and indicate/warn only when a node pool is approaching the N-3 limit.

IIUC at a PRD level we just want the user to be informed (what). How and when we can define it in the design/implementation.
The important thing is to capture that we want to inform, not run any automated action (this can be done at a later stage if we'd want to)

Correct. You asked if those are the same. They are not, I explained why. If we want to further simplify, I suggested two options I could think of.

Do we want to inform about the two distinct situations? Just one? Treat them as the same case?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Again, here we're not defining how we're going to treat them exactly, that will be down to the design phase. At this stage, PRD, we can just say "the user needs to be informed when there's version skew". What message can depend on how big the skew is, and that's going to be defined at design or implementation phase.
No need to define in such details at this stage, this was the point of the comment.
Right, I wanted consistency throughout the user stories (node pools), and explained the relationship in the assumptions (OSAC node set == HCP node pool). |

PRD: Cluster Upgrade — CaaS
Jira: OSAC-1415
Summary
This PRD defines requirements for managed OpenShift cluster upgrade support in OSAC CaaS. Clusters are provisioned via Hosted Control Planes (HCP), where the control plane and node pools are independent upgrade targets. Tenants initiate upgrades one hop at a time with risk acknowledgment and a post-initiation cancellation window. Each upgrade is tracked per cluster component with a stable lifecycle.
