# Deprecated features

## June 30, 2022

* DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 7.1

  The DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 7.1 are deprecated. You should migrate to version 7.2 as soon as you're able to.

- Previous CDM technology

  The former way of deploying the CDM is [deprecated](../evolution.html).

* CDM cluster creation and deletion scripts

  The following CDM cluster creation and deletion scripts in the /path/to/forgeops/cluster directory are deprecated:

  * gke/cluster-up.sh

  * gke/cluster-down.sh

  * eks/cluster-up.sh

  * eks/cluster-down.sh

  * aks/cluster-up.sh

  * aks/cluster-down.sh

  Note that the scripts in the /path/to/forgeops/cluster/minikube directory are *not* deprecated.

- The schedule-backups.sh script

  The schedule-backups.sh script is deprecated, and ForgeRock recommends that you change your backup strategy to use the new backup techniques introduced in this release as soon as possible.

* Dynamic AM configuration in the `amster` Docker image

  Adding dynamic AM configuration to the `amster` Docker image is deprecated.

  Instead, import and export dynamic configuration in and out of the CDK and CDM using utilities such as:

  * The bin/amster command in the `forgeops` repository

  * Ping Identity Platform REST APIs

  * IDM reconciliation

## July 12, 2021

* Previous CDK technology

  The former way of deploying the CDK is now [deprecated](../evolution.html).

## May 12, 2021

* DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 7.0

  The DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 7.0 are deprecated. You should migrate to version 7.1 as soon as you're able to.

  The DevOps artifacts for deploying version 7.0 of the platform have been removed from the `master` branch of the `forgeops` repository. You can still get them from the `2020.08.07-ZucchiniRicotta.1` release tag of the repository.

- `forgeops-secret` job

  The `forgeops-secret` job is deprecated. Use the [new Secret Agent operator](highlights.html#r2020-10-28-secret-agent) to obtain similar functionality, and for storing and retrieving secrets in Google Cloud Secret Manager, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault.

* Cluster provisioning using Pulumi

  The scripts that provision CDM clusters using Pulumi are deprecated. Use the [new cluster provisioning and removal scripts](highlights.html#r2020-10-28-cluster-provisioning) to obtain similar functionality.

  The Pulumi scripts are still available in the `/path/to/forgeops/cluster/pulumi-deprecated` directory to help you as you transition to the new cluster provisioning scripts. You should move to the new scripts as quickly as possible, because the Pulumi scripts will be removed from the `forgeops` repository in a future release.

## August 10, 2020

* DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 6.5

  The DevOps artifacts for deploying Ping Identity Platform 6.5 are deprecated. You should migrate to version 7 as soon as you're able to.

  The DevOps artifacts for deploying version 6.5 of the platform have been removed from the `master` branch of the `forgeops` repository. You can still get them from the `6.5-2020.06.24` release tag of the repository.

## February 20, 2020

* Helm charts

  Using Helm charts to orchestrate the Ping Identity Platform in a Kubernetes cluster is deprecated. You should migrate to the Kustomize framework as soon as possible.

  The deprecated Helm charts currently remain in the `forgeops` repository, but will be removed in the near future.
