System requirements

This section provides release-specific information about requirements and supported resources of PATROL for Kubernetes.

To obtain complete compatibility information for PATROL for Kubernetes, access the BMC Solution and Product Availability and Compatibility Utility.

Support for third-party products

To receive full support for a BMC product, you must have that product installed in a supported environment, as specified in the BMC product documentation. If a third-party vendor cancels support for one of its products (such as an operating system or subsystem), and that third-party product integrates or interacts with the BMC product you have licensed, you must upgrade to a supported version of that third-party product before BMC Customer Support can provide you with support for the affected BMC product. For further information, see BMC's product support policy.
