Chapter 2. Configuring hosted control planes
To get started with hosted control planes for OpenShift Container Platform, you first configure your hosted cluster on the provider that you want to use. Then, you complete a few management tasks.
Hosted control planes is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
