Developer Preview Support Scope

Description

Red Hat provides access to pre-release, optional and separately installable versions of technology, components or features as Developer Preview (also known as “Dev Preview”). These pre-release versions contain functionality that Red Hat is considering for possible inclusion into supported versions in order to collect feedback about the feature(s).

Target

Developer Preview versions are provided to expose features from upstream communities allowing early adopters and integrators to explore and interact with new capabilities in advance of their possible inclusion in a Red Hat product offering.
