# Summarizing cluster specifications {#summarizing-cluster-specifications}

To verify the version, update history, and component status of your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, query the `clusterversion` resource.

## Summarizing cluster specifications by using a cluster version object {#summarizing-cluster-specifications-through-clusterversion_summarizing-cluster-specifications}

To verify your cluster version, check update history, and confirm component status, query the `clusterversion` resource.

**Prerequisites**

- You have access to the cluster as a user with the `cluster-admin` role.
- You have installed the OpenShift CLI (`oc`).

**Procedure**

1. Query cluster version, availability, uptime, and general status:

   ```terminal
   $ oc get clusterversion
   ```

   ```text {title="Example output"}
   NAME      VERSION   AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE   STATUS
   version   4.13.8    True        False         8h      Cluster version is 4.13.8
   ```
2. Obtain a detailed summary of cluster specifications, update availability, and update history:

   ```terminal
   $ oc describe clusterversion
   ```

   ```text {title="Example output"}
   Name:         version
   Namespace:
   Labels:       <none>
   Annotations:  <none>
   API Version:  config.openshift.io/v1
