Support for IBM MQ Operator

The IBM® MQ Operator is only supported when deployed on Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform.

The IBM MQ Operator uses images based on IBM MQ Continuous Delivery (CD) releases, though an Extended Update Support (EUS) release is available with IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration. CD releases 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 via the IBM MQ Operator. IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 2020.4.1 is an Extended Update Support (EUS) release, which is supported for 18 months, if you use a version of IBM MQ marked as -eus. Otherwise, IBM MQ 9.2 is considered a Continuous Delivery release with the IBM MQ Operator.

The IBM MQ Operator uses container images which 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.

The IBM MQ Operator is supported on the amd64and s390x (z/Linux) architectures.
