Db2 Warehouse on Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes

Db2® Warehouse can be deployed in a Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster as a containerized micro-service, or pod, managed by Kubernetes.

While it is possible to deploy the containerized version of Db2 on other Kubernetes-managed container platforms, the documentation focuses on the Red Hat OpenShift deployment.
Important: For updates and new features see, What's New in Db2 Warehouse.
Note: The Db2 containerized solution utilizes both OpenShift and Kubernetes. This relationship determines the lifespan of each Db2 containerized solution: When the supporting Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes versions are no longer supported, any Db2 containerized solution that is based on those versions is also no longer supported.

You deploy Db2 Warehouse to your OpenShift cluster through a series of API calls to the Db2 Operator. The table below lists the Db2 Operators that have been released and their supported Db2 versions for deployment on OpenShift.
