Red Hat Middleware Subscriptions Bundles Overview
In June of 2018, Red Hat began offering several subscriptions which are sometimes referred to as “bundles” or “flexible subscriptions”. These subscriptions provide customers with a shared pool of processor cores, which can be deployed as any combination of the included products. They also allow customers to reconfigure their deployments as-needed throughout the subscription term - providing dramatically increased deployment flexibility. The only restrictions are that the shared limit of cores not be exceeded and that only the supported products (listed below) are deployed.
Today, Red Hat offers four of these subscriptions. They can be sold with or without OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). When purchased with OCP, they provide one pool of cores for OCP and a separate, equal pool of cores for Middleware. While many customers will elect to deploy their middleware subscription on OCP, this is not a requirement. Like our standalone middleware subscriptions, these new bundled subscriptions can be deployed on-premise or to a public cloud - with or without OCP.

Please note these subscriptions are not “products” and therefore do not have unified life cycles or supported configurations. Rather, these subscriptions provide support for a set of individual products, each with its own lifecycle and supported configurations.
Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) can be purchased as an add-on to these bundles. ELS will continue to be sold on a per-product basis, and will not be available as a flexible subscription or bundle.
