Developer Preview

This is a Developer Preview release. A Developer Preview release contains a preview of the functional set of features that will be included in the next version release of the software. Developer Preview versions are published before all features have been implemented and tested, therefore some features may be absent, incomplete, or not work as expected. Red Hat encourages customers to use the Developer Preview release to provide feedback.

Developer Preview builds have the following constraints and limitations:

• Production use is not permitted.
• Installation and use is not eligible for Red Hat production support.
• Upgrades to, from, or between Developer Preview versions are not supported.

For more information about Developer Preview support scope, see Developer Preview Support Scope - Red Hat Customer Portal.

NOTE: Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18 will be renamed to Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift. However, it might be still referred to as Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18 in related customer portal documents.
