The multicluster engine for Kubernetes operator provides the tools and capabilities to address common challenges that administrators and site reliability engineers face as they work across a range of environments, including multiple datacenters, private clouds, and public clouds that run Kubernetes clusters.

Supported browsers

The following table outlines the browsers that are supported for viewing the multicluster engine for Kubernetes operator web user interface.

Browser support is divided into tiers:

  • Tier 1: Browser and operating system combinations that are fully tested and fully supported. Red Hat Engineering is committed to fixing issues with browsers on this tier.
  • Tier 2: Browser and operating system combinations that are partially tested, and are likely to work. Limited support is provided for this tier. Red Hat Engineering will attempt to fix issues with browsers on this tier.
  • Tier 3: Browser and operating system combinations that are not tested, but may work. Minimal support is provided for this tier. Red Hat Engineering will attempt to fix only minor issues with browsers on this tier.

Supported platforms for multicluster engine operator

The multicluster engine operator has two main components:

  • A server component called the “hub cluster” where the management tools and user interface run
  • A client component that is installed on all Kubernetes clusters that can be managed by the “hub cluster”
  • Note: You do not have to use a dedicated cluster for your hub cluster.
