Chapter 4. Getting started with OpenShift Serverless
OpenShift Serverless simplifies the process of delivering code from development into production by reducing the need for infrastructure set up or back-end development by developers.
4.1. How OpenShift Serverless works
Developers on OpenShift Serverless can use the provided Kubernetes native APIs, as well as familiar languages and frameworks, to deploy applications and container workloads.
OpenShift Serverless on OpenShift Container Platform enables stateless serverless workloads to all run on a single multi-cloud container platform with automated operations. Developers can use a single platform for hosting their microservices, legacy, and serverless applications.
OpenShift Serverless is based on the open source Knative project, which provides portability and consistency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments by enabling an enterprise-grade serverless platform.
4.2. Supported configurations
The set of supported features, configurations, and integrations for OpenShift Serverless, current and past versions, are available at the Supported configurations page.
Knative Eventing 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 https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/.
4.3. Next steps
- Install the OpenShift Serverless Operator on your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to get started.
- View the OpenShift Serverless release notes.
- Create an application by following the documentation on Creating and managing serverless applications.
