## Kubernetes version support
Redis Software for Kubernetes is compatible with [CNCF-conformant](https://www.cncf.io/training/certification/software-conformance/) Kubernetes platforms. The operator follows standard Kubernetes APIs and practices and is designed to run consistently across certified Kubernetes environments.
Redis tests Redis Software for Kubernetes on the following platforms:
- Red Hat OpenShift
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE)
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
Redis also supports other CNCF-conformant distributions that run a supported Kubernetes version, even without explicit testing.
The tables below use the following status icons:
✅ Supported – This Kubernetes version is supported for this operator version.
⚠️ Deprecated – Support for this Kubernetes version will be removed in a future release.
❌ End of life – No longer supported.
### Latest release
Operator release **8.2.0-12** supports the following Kubernetes and OpenShift versions.
