Supported platforms and installation methods

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) is supported on OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes platforms. For more information about supported self-managed and managed platforms, see Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Support Policy.

Installation methods for different platforms

You can perform different types of installations on different platforms.

Not all installation methods are supported for all platforms.

  1. The availability of support for each platform depends on the overarching lifecycle of the platform and the end-of-life date.

  2. For more information about supported self-managed and managed platforms, see Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Support Policy.

  3. Do not use the roxctl installation method unless you have specific requirements for following this installation method.

  4. RHACS Central is tested, qualified, and is fully supported exclusively on OpenShift Container Platform 4. Deployment and use of Central in environments that are not OpenShift Container Platform 4 is possible, but support is limited to the RHACS product software only and not to the underlying infrastructure provider. As part of problem diagnosis and isolation, it is necessary to reproduce problems in an OpenShift Container Platform 4 environment. If an issue is specific to a provider and cluster that is not OpenShift Container Platform 4, Red Hat provides commercially reasonable support to isolate issues. You are expected to open a case with your respective provider. For instructions, see the Red Hat 3rd Party Support Policy.
