Chapter 1. About JBoss EAP Continuous Delivery 20
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform continuous delivery stream (JBoss EAP CD) has been provided as a Technology Preview offering for the entirety of its availability. Based upon user feedback, and in accordance with the terms of the Technology Preview Features Support Scope, Red Hat has decided to deprecate the JBoss EAP CD stream.
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform continuous delivery (JBoss EAP CD) release 20 is a Technology Preview release available in the cloud only. This JBoss EAP CD release introduces a new delivery stream of JBoss EAP. For JBoss EAP CD20, only release note documentation is provided. Additional documentation will be provided in following releases.
The purpose of this new delivery model is to quickly introduce new features ahead of the traditional JBoss EAP GA release. The JBoss EAP CD releases are only available in the OpenShift image format and can be accessed from the Red Hat Container Catalog.
Traditional JBoss EAP GA releases, the next being JBoss EAP 7.4, are based on an aggregate of JBoss EAP CD releases. They are available through the normal distribution methods.
This continuous delivery release for JBoss EAP is provided as Technology Preview only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
See Technology Preview Features Support Scope on the Red Hat Customer Portal for information about the support scope for Technology Preview features.
