Deprecated functions and replacements
Several functions are deprecated in this IBM® Cloud Pak System release. The deprecated functions are still supported for compatibility with an earlier version. However, they are no longer enhanced and must not be used for new deployments or implementations.
As the deprecated feature is fully supported only until the end of support date, customers must make plans to move to the suggested replacements or an alternate feature before the end of support date.
| Deprecated function | Suggested replacements | Announcement date | Support end date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Host Management with Goferd and Katello Agent | Use Remote execution as a replacement for Host management with Goferd and Katello Agent. For
more information, see Host Management Without Goferd and Katello Agent. Note: The
Katello agent package and the goferd service are not installed by default. You must manage virtual
machines through a remote execution.

| Docker Private Registry pattern |
Support for Docker Private
Registry pattern is deprecated in Version 2.3.3.4 and later. The same function can now be used from
the Cloud Paks Docker Private Registry pattern by selecting
in the Deploy page of the IBM Cloud Pak System user interface.
Note: Since Docker Private Registry pattern
is deprecated in Version 2.3.3.4 and later, the Docker configuration page under
Pattern development is expected to be removed after the 2.3.3.4 release. This
function is no longer supported. You must ignore the Docker Private Registry pattern function if you
encounter it in 2.3.3.4 or later.
