Notes:
* IBM recommends IBM Fusion clients to upgrade to the latest version of code. To upgrade to the latest level for IBM Fusion, see Upgrade to 2.12.0.
For supported IBM Cloud Paks versions in IBM Fusion 2.12.0, see IBM Cloud Paks support for IBM Fusion.
For supported IBM Maximo versions in IBM Fusion 2.12.0, see IBM Maximo support for IBM Fusion.
For the IBM Storage Scale software requirement levels, see IBM Storage Scale documentation.
From 2.8.0 version, you can use Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine (OKE) as an alternative for OpenShift Container Platform. The supported version of OKE is same as OpenShift Container Platform.
From 2.9.0 version, IBM Fusion provides support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine (OVE) as an alternative for OpenShift Container Platform. If you do not need all the capabilities of OpenShift for initial migrations of VMs and want a simplified and less costly alternative edition of self-managed OpenShift, then you can use Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization engine for running VMs.
