This article provides full support details for running Red Hat Middleware products in containerized images.
Supported Configurations
Red Hat provides both production and development support for supported configurations according to your subscription agreement in both physical and virtual environments. In order to be running in a supported configuration, JDG must be running in one of the following JVM versions and on one of the operating systems supported by that JVM. Red Hat relies on the testing and certification process of the underlying JVM for platform compatibility. Red Hat limits support of OpenJDK to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Tested Configurations
Tested configurations are a defined set of validated and recommended operating systems, chip architectures, JVM, and database combinations. These represent the most common combinations that JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers are using.
Red Hat has performed the full range of platform tests on the following tested configurations.

Hi We currently use RHDG with EAP and would like to upgrade to EAP 7.3 / RHDG 8.0. Can you advise when the Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 8.0 Modules for JBoss EAP will be available please ? Kind Regards
Hello David, EAP modules will not continue, the plan is to integrate RHDG directly with EAP and make it possible to use the functionallity without additional installation. If you have current issues and questions it would be better to open a support case, please mention that the case should be owned by me, as I'm the Product Lead for this and will work on this.
Thanks Wolf-Dieter Support case opened: https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/02635056
if i try to enable the ssl server identity on open jdk 1.8 i get below error. i also have a case opened on the same https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/02722079

Hello Ritesh, comments are not meant to resolve issues, for this we have the ticket system which you have already used. Only if you find some incorrect, missing or unclear topic in the article itself you should comment here.
The issue here might be JDK 8 and we need to add a restriction here.
