Support for IBM MQ Operator and certified containers
The IBM MQ certified containers are only supported when deployed using the IBM MQ Operator on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
The IBM MQ Advanced certified container image is based on IBM MQ Continuous Delivery (CD) releases. These are supported for up to one year, or for two CD releases, whichever is longer. Long Term Support releases of IBM MQ are not available as a certified container. IBM MQ 9.2 is considered a Continuous Delivery release for the certified containers.
The IBM MQ Advanced certified container images provide an installation of IBM MQ on a Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI), which includes key Linux libraries and utilities used by IBM MQ. The UBI is supported by Red Hat when run on Red Hat OpenShift.
