Could Viya 4 work on OpenShift for bare-metal machines ?

Could Viya 4 work on OpenShift for bare-metal machines?

I mean, assuming we have multiple bare-metal machines, and build OpenShift K8s cluster across these multiple bare-metal machines, and then deploy Viya4 on the K8s cluster?

Thanks in advance

The documentation indicates for OpenShift a requirement of
"Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.7 - 4.9 on VMware vSphere 7.0.1 or later. These versions align with the supported versions of Kubernetes (1.20.x - 1.22.x ). SAS has tested only with a user-provisioned infrastructure installation."

So while this may work, it would fall under limited support.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but this has now changed. In a nutshell the documentation has been updated stating the updated support.
