Chapter 4. Technology previews


This section describes the technology preview features introduced in Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.21 under Technology Preview support limitations.

Important

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 using them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

Technology Preview features are provided with a limited support scope, as detailed on the Customer Portal: Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

OpenShift Data Foundation knowledge is incorporated directly into OpenShift Lightspeed by providing a container image that embeds Data Foundation documentation as retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) content through the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) workflow. This integration improves the accuracy and relevance of responses to Data Foundation–related questions by using the correct in‑cluster documentation version, reducing reliance on external search engines and minimizing the need to switch away from the console when seeking operational guidance.

However, this feature is available only in .z releases where the corresponding CSV includes the updated image. Documentation for this feature will consistently lag by one .z release.

For information about how to configure OpenShift Lightspeed, see the Red Hat OpenShift Lightspeed documentation.
