Container Service Compatibility Matrix

The original version of the Container Service plugin was made available and was compatible with XNAT 1.7.3. Since then, several breaking changes have been introduced that affect which versions of Container Service can be run on which versions of XNAT. There are also supporting utilities such as the Batch Launch Plugin that introduce their own version compatibility issues. Please reference this page whenever working through an upgrade process. 

For legacy versions of XNAT and the Container Service plugin, see Legacy Version Compatibility Matrix

Container Service Compatibility with XNAT

Note that compatible versions of the Batch Launch Plugin (BLP) have been indicated along with the XNAT version.

Container Service Internal Feature Compatibility

New versions of the Container Service have introduced new features. For instance, we have added new supported compute backends. But we also introduced new features internally to the Container Service, and not all the internal features work on all the supported backends.

🐳 - Docker Standalone

🐝 - Docker Swarm

☸️ - Kubernetes

*Container Service 3.x uses the Batch Launch Plugin to extend multi-container-launch functionality.

**Docker Swarm constraints are supported on several node and engine properties; Kubernetes constraints are supported on node labels only.

Command Feature Compatibility

New versions of the Container Service have introduced new capabilities that XNAT-enabled command definitions can take advantage of. There are no breaking changes that cause issues with old command definitions being run on new versions of the Container Service, but if your command design requires certain features to execute properly, consult this table for version-specific notes.
