= Technology preview for deploying {prod-short} {prod-ver} with the {devworkspace} engine
Support for deploying {prod-short} {prod-ver} with the {devworkspace} engine is available as a link:
https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview[Technology Preview] feature for {ocp} 4.8. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not fully function. Red Hat does not suggest using them in production.

.Known limitations
// * Workspaces are not protected from inner OpenShift cluster access. // Fixed on CRW 2.13
* When deploying {prod-short} in a restricted environment, workspaces fail to start because proxy and untrusted TLS certificates are not supported.
// * Workspaces idling is not supported. // Fixed on CRW 2.13
* The GitHub and GitLab OAuth flows to automatically configure user accounts are not supported.
* Clusters with a network policy that isolates namespaces networks are not supported.
// * Asynchronous storage mode for workspaces is not supported. // Fixed on CRW 2.13 (basic support)
// * Selecting the editor from the dashboard is not supported. // Unsupported anyway
* Upgrading a {prod-short} instance with the {devworkspace} engine enabled requires manual steps.
