Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud version 4.16 is now based on the RHEL 9.2 host operating system, which increases the micro-architecture requirements{: external} to x86-64-v2. As a result, host machines for IBM Cloud {{site.data.keyword.satelliteshort}} must support x86-64-v2 architecture for any location that contains a version 4.16 cluster. See Host system requirements for more information. In addition, client machines used to run oc client version 4.16 must also support x86-64-v2 architecture. Client machines, such as Ubuntu 20, that do not meet this micro-architecture requirement must use a RHEL 8 based oc version 4.16 client. Refer to the list of available oc version 4.16 clients{: external}.
