Cloud Pak for Data Rolling Openshift Updates

We want to be able to run rolling openshift updates below the Cloud Pak for Data Platform without downtime.

We have a prod cluster with 3 nodes on three machines, so the platform should be 24x7 available. Our working hours are 8:00 to 16:00, but the office workers work from 7:00 to 17:00. The datastage ETL jobs run from 17:30 to the next day 8:00 sometimes longer.

In this situation it is not possible for us to hibernate the EDB databases as the support recommended: TS021186397.

We need the ability of cloud pak to be able to handle non disruptive openshift updates and later on rolling cloud pak updates, so that we don't have a downtime.
