The operator follows standard Kubernetes APIs and practices and is designed to run consistently across certified Kubernetes environments.\n\nRedis tests Redis Software for Kubernetes on the following platforms:\n\n- Red Hat OpenShift\n- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)\n- Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE)\n- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)\n- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)\n\nRedis also supports other CNCF-conformant distributions that run a supported Kubernetes version, even without explicit testing.\n\nThe tables below use the following status icons:\n\n✅ Supported – This Kubernetes version is supported for this operator version.\n\n⚠️ Deprecated – Support for this Kubernetes version will be removed in a future release.\n\n❌ End of life – No longer supported."
