Upgrade to 3.5
What Changed
MaaS moved from kserve.modelsAsService to aigateway.modelsAsAService. KServe is no longer a prerequisite for MaaS.
Backward Compatibility
No action required on upgrade. If your DSC has kserve.modelsAsService: Managed, the operator continues to deploy MaaS automatically through 3.6.
The old field is read-only once set (self == oldSelf) and will be removed in 3.7.
Migrating to the New Field
When you are ready, update your DSC:
GitOps users: update your manifest and sync. The old kserve.modelsAsService field cannot be cleared until 3.7 — leave it as-is.
Verify
oc get aigateway default-aigateway
oc get deployment -n opendatahub ai-gateway-operator
oc get datasciencecluster default-dsc -o jsonpath='{.spec.components.aigateway.modelsAsAService}'
Database Credential Management
Source of Truth Change
With infrastructure namespace separation (enabled by default), the maas-db-config
secret in the infrastructure namespace is the source of truth for database credentials.
The controller performs a one-time copy during migration but does not sync
subsequent changes.
If you rotate database credentials, update the secret in the infrastructure namespace
(e.g., odh-ai-gateway-infra or redhat-ai-gateway-infra). The MaasTenantConfig
status now includes an infraNamespace field showing where the active secret lives:
See Infrastructure Namespace Separation for details.
