Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 8 Supported Configurations
Note: JBoss EAP 8.0 Update 12 will be the last 8.0 Update, you will need to move to EAP 8.1 for continued CVE and Bug fixes as per the JBoss EAP Support Policy
Every Red Hat JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) release is tested and supported on a variety of market-leading operating systems, Java™ Virtual Machines (JVMs), and database combinations. Red Hat provides both production and development support for supported configurations and tested integrations according to your subscription agreement in both physical and virtual environments [1].
For information about JBoss EAP support on Red Hat OpenShift, see Support of Red Hat Middleware products and components on Red Hat OpenShift.

JBoss EAP 8.1 Tested Integrations
Tested Integrations are a defined set of specifically tested integrating technologies that represent the most common combinations that JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers are using. For these integrations, Red Hat has directly, or through certified partners, exercised our full range of platform tests as part of the product release process. Issues identified as part of this testing process are highlighted in the release notes for each JBoss EAP release. This list of tested integrations will expand over time.
Red Hat provides both production and development support for the tested integrations in the same major version family at or above the tested version according to your subscription agreement. Earlier versions of a tested integration in the same major version family are supported on a commercially reasonable basis.

Notes
[1]{#1} Red Hat expects that customers will remain on a supported environment. In the event that a JVM, operating system, database, etc., or its version is no longer supported by its vendor, Red Hat may be limited in its ability to provide support and may require you to reproduce the issue in a supported environment for continued assistance.
[2]{#2} Red Hat limits support of OpenJDK to OpenJDK builds from Red Hat.
For more information on Open JDK on Windows please see this article.
