-------------------------------------------

Hi [~gkannan35],

This would be a good thing to investigate when we look at upgrading our version of Keycloak.

> Investigate what is the best way to keep up to date with Keycloak releases.  We probably don't want to just update to the latest Keycloak release since [they say on their support page|https://www.keycloak.org/support.html]:

> The RH-SSO product derives from a specific version of the Keycloak community and is maintained, patched, and supported by Red Hat commercially for as long as the terms of your support contract. *The Keycloak community project, on the other hand, is never patched.* There are no point releases of the community project and *each release may break backward compatibility*. New features are developed, experimented with, and baked in community then brought down to be supported in product if they are popular enough in community. *Think of Keycloak as bleeding edge with quick releases, unpatched, and limited community support*, while RH-SSO is stable, supported for a long time, and patched as bugs and security vulnerabilities are found.

> I wonder if there is something for RH-SSO like what Centos is to RH Enterprise Linux?  It would be good to research our options.
