When will HCL Sametime Premium be officially supported on RHEL 9?

And what is the IMMEDIATE future of the Container Engine support?

These concerns are immediate; and deprecation of Docker was announced 18 months ago.

Customers are forcing migration to RHEL 9; and we are concerned that the new Sametime 12 architecture and the selected container engines may not be supported.

We are also concerned about HCL's complete migration to containers on deprecated container engines. What is the plan for migration to fully supported container engines on RHEL 9+ ?

And is there a plan to once again provide binaries to allow the customer to install ST 12 on the container they choose?

Thanks.

RHEL 9 support is under review, along with other platforms. Container engine support pertaining to Sametime is also an area of focus. We encourage enhancement requests to help prioritize platform and container engine requirements. We can provide additional information to help address these concerns via a support case.
