System Requirements
This section gives an overview of the supported Nevis, related component versions, and their system requirements.
Database and OS support
nevisAdmin 4 and it's components all adhere to a unified versioning system. Compatible component versions match to make version upgrades easier and more logical.
| nevis version | Database: PostgreSQL 15 | Database: MariaDB 10.6 | Database: MariaDB 10.3 | OS: RHEL9 | OS: RHEL8 | JVM (Open JDK) 17.0.12 | Kubernetes 1.31 | Kubernetes 1.29 |

| RR: 8.2411.x | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |

Access App
It is guaranteed that you can upgrade the backend from the previous release to the current release without having to replace the currently rolled out Access Apps. New release versions remain compatible with the last previously rolled out Access Apps. For example: The Access App compatible with backend release version n is also compatible with backend release version n+1.
Always update the backend first, before updating the Access App. This is necessary in order for the Access App to stay compatible with the Nevis release: Only if you first upgrade the backend and then the Access App, we can guarantee that the new Access App version will continue to work with the backend and can be rolled out to end users.

Mobile Authentication Client SDK
The mobile SDK and cross-platform plugin versioning adheres to the semantic versioning principle.
More information can be found here.
It is guaranteed that you can upgrade the backend from a previous release to the current release without having to replace currently rolled out Access Apps and SDKs. New releases remain compatible with the last previously rolled out Access Apps and SDKs releases. For example, the SDK compatible with backend release version n is also compatible with backend release version n+1.
Always update the backend first, before updating the SDK. This is necessary in order for the SDK to stay compatible with the Nevis release: Only if you first upgrade the backend and then the SDK, we can guarantee that the new SDK version will continue to work with the backend and can be rolled out to end users.
