- Regulatory
- CNCF incubation project with Linux Foundation copyright and trademark notice on the homepage (2026). The licence is commonly cited as Apache 2.0 but was not confirmed from a primary repository source in this session. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or FedRAMP certification was verified for the project — as self-hosted software, such certifications would attach to the operator's deployment. Red Hat build of Keycloak is bundle-only and not sold standalone (access.redhat.com/articles/7044244).
