Red Hat SummitChapter 9. Supported Configurations
Supported configurations for the AMQ Streams 2.6 release.
9.1. Supported platforms
The following platforms are tested for AMQ Streams 2.6 running with Kafka on the version of OpenShift stated.
| Platform | Version | Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (including disconnected environments) | 4.11 to 4.14 | x86_64, ppc64le (IBM Power), s390x (IBM Z and IBM® LinuxONE), aarch64 (64-bit ARM) |
| Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated | Latest | x86_64 |
| Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift | Latest | x86_64 |
| Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS | Latest | x86_64 |
| Red Hat MicroShift | Latest | x86_64 |
| Red Hat OpenShift Local | 2.10-2.12 (OCP 4.11), 2.13-2.19 (OCP 4.12), 2.20-2.28 (OCP 4.13), 2.29 and newer (OCP 4.14) | x86_64 |
OpenShift Local is a limited version of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). Use only for development and evaluation on the understanding that some features may be unavailable.
Unsupported features
- Red Hat MicroShift does not support Kafka Connect’s build configuration for building container images with connectors.
- IBM Z and IBM® LinuxONE s390x architecture does not support AMQ Streams OPA integration.
FIPS compliance
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is designed for FIPS. When running on RHEL or RHEL CoreOS booted in FIPS mode, OpenShift Container Platform core components use the RHEL cryptographic libraries submitted to NIST for FIPS validation on only the x86_64, ppc64le (IBM Power), s390x (IBM Z), and aarch64 (64-bit ARM) architectures. For more information about the NIST validation program, see Cryptographic Module Validation Program. For the latest NIST status for the individual versions of the RHEL cryptographic libraries submitted for validation, see Compliance Activities and Government Standards.
9.2. Supported clients
Only client libraries built by Red Hat are supported for AMQ Streams. Currently, AMQ Streams only provides a Java client library. Clients are supported for use with AMQ Streams 2.6 on the following operating systems and architectures:
| Operating System | Architecture | JVM |
|---|---|---|
| RHEL and UBI 7 | x86, amd64 | Java 11 |
| RHEL and UBI 8 and 9 | x86, amd64, ppc64le (IBM Power), s390x (IBM Z and IBM® LinuxONE), aarch64 (64-bit ARM) | Java 11 and Java 17 |
Clients are tested with Open JDK 11 and 17. The IBM JDK is supported but not regularly tested against during each release. Open JDK 8, Oracle JDK 8 & 11, and IBM JDK 8 are not supported.
Support for Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) versions correspond to the same RHEL version.
9.3. Supported Apache Kafka ecosystem
In AMQ Streams, only the following components released directly from the Apache Software Foundation are supported:
- Apache Kafka Broker
- Apache Kafka Connect
- Apache MirrorMaker
- Apache MirrorMaker 2
- Apache Kafka Java Producer, Consumer, Management clients, and Kafka Streams
- Apache ZooKeeper
Apache ZooKeeper is supported solely as an implementation detail of Apache Kafka and should not be modified for other purposes. Additionally, the cores or vCPU allocated to ZooKeeper nodes are not included in subscription compliance calculations. In other words, ZooKeeper nodes do not count towards a customer’s subscription.
9.4. Additional supported features
- Kafka Bridge
- Drain Cleaner
- Cruise Control
- Distributed Tracing
See also, Chapter 11, Supported integration with Red Hat products.
9.5. Storage requirements
Kafka requires block storage; file storage options like NFS are not compatible.
