Red Hat OpenShift Local

Red Hat OpenShift Local brings a minimal OpenShift Container Platform 4 cluster and Podman container runtime to your local computer:

  • Windows. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) or later.
  • Mac. macOS 11 Big Sur or later
  • Linux. The latest two Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 7, 8 and 9 minor releases and on the latest two stable Fedora releases.

The OpenShift Container Platform cluster is ephemeral and is not intended for production use. Red Hat OpenShift Local does not have a supported upgrade path to newer OpenShift Container Platform versions.
