Chapter 3. Supported clouds
Learn about the cloud providers that are available with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. Also, find the documented managed providers that are available. See the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management 2.3 Support Matrix for more information about supported clouds.
Best practice: For managed cluster providers, use the latest version of Kubernetes.
