help Red Hat OpenShift Local FAQ

Is Red Hat OpenShift Local free to use for development purposes?

Yes, OpenShift Local is provided free of charge by Red Hat to give developers a local OpenShift environment. It was formerly known as CodeReady Containers and bundles a minimal cluster onto a single machine.

How many system resources do I need to run OpenShift Local?

Running OpenShift Local requires a fairly robust development machine due to the overhead of running Kubernetes. Red Hat recommends at least 4 physical CPU cores and 9 GB of available RAM to prevent the cluster from crashing during builds.

Can I use OpenShift Local to test Operator deployments?

Yes, OpenShift Local includes the OperatorHub catalog, allowing developers to test their custom Operators locally. This mirrors the production OpenShift environment, making it ideal for testing cluster-level applications before pushing them to an enterprise cluster.

Does OpenShift Local support running on macOS with Apple Silicon processors?

OpenShift Local provides support for macOS and utilizes a hypervisor to run the OpenShift cluster in a virtual machine. While historically focused on Intel architecture, Red Hat has expanded support to function natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) chips.
