Status when updating the kernel
Use
In normal production this column always displays the green traffic light. However, if a "rolling" kernel update takes place, that is, a new kernel is activated one after the other for all instances in a system, this is displayed as follows:
- Green: Instance is already running with the new kernel
- Amber: Instance is still running with the old kernel
- Red: Instance is stopping
