Notice

Here's the official report from Microsoft:

We recently announced Azure Red Hat OpenShift on OpenShift 4. OpenShift 4 enables you to create clusters in minutes, in a self-service fashion. Because this is a fully managed service, there are no virtual machines for you to manage. Learn more about the support policy and the benefits of OpenShift 4 in this blog.
