You can update the {ztp-first} infrastructure independently from the hub cluster, {rh-rhacm-first}, and the managed {product-title} clusters.

You can update the {gitops-title} Operator when new versions become available. When updating the {ztp} plugin, review the updated files in the reference configuration and ensure that the changes meet your requirements.
