Summary
This blog post discusses how the IT AI Platforms team at Red Hat successfully upgraded OpenShift AI from version 2.25.5 to 3.3.2 by using an AI coding assistant. The upgrade, which typically would take 6 months and involve multiple engineers, was completed in just 8 weeks by a single engineer, achieving significant reductions in time and effort. The methodology involved thorough preparatory steps, the development of a custom CLI tool for orchestrating the upgrade process, extensive real-time debugging using AI, and immediate encoding of discovered issues into the automation tool for smarter upgrade processes in subsequent environments.
